Question

if a bolt of fabric measuring 20 yards 8 inches is divided into 26 equal sections, how long is each section ?

Answer 1

how many inches in a yard plus 8 and divide that by 26. Simple

Answer 2

you figure it out yet ?

Answer 3

1 foot 10 inches

Answer 4

You can work in any units you like.

20 yds + 8 in = 20 yds + (2/3) ft = 20 + (2/9) yds

20 + (2/9) yds / 26 = (7/9) yds = 2 + (1/3) ft = 2 ft 4 in

OR

20 yds + 8 in = 728 in

728 in / 26 = 28 in = 2 ft 4 in
