Question

If Luke have 7 feet of chocolate and he gaves 24 inches to his friend Jose how many feets of chocolates would Luke have left???

Answer 1

5 feet

Explanation:

a foot is equal to 12 inches

thus it can be said that luke gave away 2 feet (24 ÷ 12 = 2) to his friend Jose

so 7-2=5

Answer 2

Luke would have 5 feet of chocolate left after giving 24 inches to Jose.

Explanation:

There are a couple of steps to solving this problem.

First, let's convert the 7 feet of chocolate to inches, since we're given the amount Jose receives in inches:

7 feet = 7 x 12 inches/foot = 84 inches

Next, we need to subtract the 24 inches that Luke gives to Jose:

84 inches - 24 inches = 60 inches

Finally, let's convert the remaining inches back to feet to get our answer:

60 inches = 60/12 feet = 5 feet

Therefore, Luke would have 5 feet of chocolate left after giving 24 inches to Jose.
