Question

Neil is making colorful friendship bracelets for 6 of his friends. He has all of the colors of
thread he plans to use except for green. If every bracelet uses 22 inches of each color of
thread, how many feet of green thread should Neil buy from the craft store?

Answer 1

Answer:

11 feet

(or 132 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 6 bracelets to make, we can multiply 22 and 6 to get 132.

The correct unit / format to answer this is in feet and all we have right now is the amount of inches we must convert.

132 inches converted into feet can be found by dividing by the amount of inches there are in a 1 foot.

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can divide 132 by 12 to get 11.
