Which do you believe it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I kinda feel like its 240 feet but im not quite sure.

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

What is 6*40?

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

There's one more step after that

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

6 x 40 = 240; 240/12= 20 inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we just now converted feet into inches?

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Yes exactly

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

oops 20 ft

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

20 ft is the answer

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

240 was inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay so the answer would be 20 feet instead of inches correct? lol

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Yes
