Subtract 8 feet from 9 yards, 1 foot
3 ft = 1 yd
so times 9 by 3 and add one
First, change the large length into feet. Then do the subtraction.
then take away 9
@Lucinda12345 ^take away 8
oh sorry that's what I meant :(
Huh? im confunsed
Help M plz someone @undeadknight26
9 yd 1 ft needs to be converted into feet. Since 1 yd = 3 ft, first, multiply 9 by 3. Then add 1. What is 9 * 3 + 1 = ?
28
Great. 9 yd, 1 ft = 28 ft
Now we do the subtraction since every measure is in the same units, ft. What is 28 ft - 8 ft = ?
20
Good. The answer is 20 ft. 20 ft is correct, but I don't know if you have choices. Perhaps you need the answer to also be in yards and feet.
If the answer needs to be in yards and feet, then to convert 20 ft to yards and feet, do this: Since there are 3 ft in a yd, first, divide 20 by 3; you get 6 with remainder 2. That means 20 ft is the same as 6 yd 2 ft
