xavier, barry, and thomas each put a fence up in their yard. xavier's fence is 62 inches long. barry's fence is 7 feet long. thomas' fence is 2 yards long. who put up the longest fence?
So we start by converting each unit to feet (you could convert to any unit as long as they’re the same, but I’m going to show u how to find out with feet conversion)
1 feet = 12 inches, so to convert Xaviers fence from inch to feet we divide 62 ÷ 12 = 5.2 feet long.
Since Barry’s fence is already in feet, we know it’s 7 feet long.
Thomas’s feet which is 2 yards will be converted to feet as well. 1 yard= 3 feet, so 2 x 3 = 6 feet long
Xavier: 5.2 feet Barry: 7 feet Thomas: 6 feet
Therefore, choice b. Barry (7 feet) is the longest fence.
