Question

Linda and her friends, Selena and Molly, each cut 1 ½ feet of their hair to donate to an

organization that makes wigs for children with cancer. How many inches of hair did all
three girls donate?

Answer 1

It would be 36

Explanation:

18+18+18

Answer 2

Since each girl donated 1 ½ feet of hair, we can add their donations together to get the total amount of hair donated:

1 ½ feet = 18 inches (since 1 foot = 12 inches)

So, each girl donated 18 inches of hair, and the total amount of hair donated by all three girls is:

18 inches + 18 inches + 18 inches = 54 inches

Therefore, all three girls donated a total of 54 inches of hair.
