Question
Kamal is buying supplies for a science lab. He needs a piece of wire 7 feet long. He finds wire for sale at a store that lists the lengths in inches. How many inches of wire should Kamal buy?
To convert feet to inches, we need to multiply the length in feet by 12 (since there are 12 inches in 1 foot).
Thus, Kamal would need to buy 7 * 12 = <<7*12=84>>84 inches of wire. Answer: \boxed{84}.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the length of the wire from feet to inches.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches. So, to convert 7 feet to inches, we can multiply 7 by 12.
7 feet * 12 inches/foot = 84 inches
Therefore, Kamal should buy 84 inches of wire.
To determine the number of inches of wire Kamal should buy, we need to convert the length from feet to inches.
In order to convert from feet to inches, we need to know the conversion factor that relates the two units. There are 12 inches in 1 foot.
So, to convert 7 feet into inches, we multiply the number of feet (7) by the conversion factor (12):
7 feet * 12 inches/foot = 84 inches
Therefore, Kamal should buy 84 inches of wire.
