Question

Taylor is making a large banner that

measures 6 yards in length. He split the
banner into 18 sections for him and
some of his friends to work on. How
many inches long is each section?

Answer 1

12 inches long

Explanation:

One yard is equal to 36 inches, so 6 yards is equal to:

`\sf:\implies 6 * 36 = 216\: inches`

To find the length of each section, we need to divide the total length of the banner (216 inches) by the number of sections (18):

`\sf:\implies 216 / 18 = \boxed{\bold{\:\:12\:\:}}\:\:\:\green{\checkmark}`

Therefore, each section is 12 inches long.

Answer 2

12 is the answer

Explanation:

6 y = 6 × 36 in. ( y = yards, in = inches )

do the math:

6(36) ÷ 18 = 12 ( for 18 sections of course )

12 × 18 = 6 × 36

becuase;

12 × 18 = 216 \

——- They are the same

6 × 36 = 216 /

= 216

Divide

216 ÷ 18 = 12

12 being the answer
