Question

Libby built a fence that was 56 feet long over 4 days. She built the same length of fence each day. How many inches of fence did Libby build each day? 1 foot =12 inches

Answer 1

168 inches.

Explanation:

We have been given that Libby built a fence that was 56 feet long over 4 days. She built the same length of fence each day.

To find the fence made each day by Libby, we will divide 56 by 4.

`\text{Fence built by Libby each day}=\frac{56\text{ feet}}{4}`

`\text{Fence built by Libby each day}=14\text{ feet}`

Now, we will convert the length of fence into inches.

1 foot = 12 inches.

`14\text{ feet}=14\text{ feet}* \frac{12\text{ inches}}{\text{ feet}}`

`14\text{ feet}=14* 12\text{ inches}`

`14\text{ feet}=168\text{ inches}`

Therefore, Libby build 168 inches of fence each day.

Answer 2

Each day she build:

`56 / 4 = 14`
14 feet of fences


`14 * 12 = 168`
168 inches
