Question

The length of a swimming pool is 12 feet long. How many inches would you have to get across the entire pool?

Answer 1

we are given the length of 12ft
to get across the entire pool is also suggesting length

so to solve this problem you must convert 12 feet into inches.

there are 12 inches in 1 foot so you must multiply 12 feet by 12 inches

12 * 12 = 144

you would have to swim 144 inches to get across the entire pool.

Answer 2

There are 12 inches in a foot and if the swimming pool is 12 feet long, then the answer is 12*12 or 144 inches long.
