Question

Larry wants to fence in his yard. On the east side he needs 10 yards. On the west side he needs 8 yards. On the south side is his house so no fence is needed there. How many feet of fence does he need?

Answer 1

Larry needs 18 yards of fence. To convert yards to feet, we multiply by 3 since there are 3 feet in a yard. Therefore, Larry needs 54 feet of fence.
