Question

3. Amari wants to set up a tent. He needs four 8 ft ropes. The package of ropes he bought from the store is 28 yards long. After setting up the tent, does Amari have any rope left over? If so, how much?

Answer 1

After converting the rope length to feet, it's clear that Amari will have 52 feet of rope left over after using the necessary 32 feet to set up his tent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amari needs to know if he has any rope left over after setting up his tent with four 8 ft ropes. The package he bought is 28 yards long. To solve this, we need to convert yards to feet to compare the lengths. There are 3 feet in a yard, so 28 yards is equal to 28 x 3 feet, which equals 84 feet. Amari needs 4 x 8 ft of rope, which equals 32 feet for the tent. After using the 32 feet for the tent, we subtract it from the total length of the rope he bought:

84 feet (total rope) - 32 feet (used for tent) = 52 feet remaining.

Therefore, Amari will have 52 feet of rope left over after setting up his tent.

Answer 2

Answer: yes there is rope left over. 52ft of rope.

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 3 ft in a yard so Amari has

3ft x 28yards = 84ft of rope

he needs 4 x 8ft = 32ft of rope

subtract what he needs from what he has to find out if he has enough and how much extra.

84ft - 32ft = 52ft of extra rope
