Question

Over a two hour time period a snail moved
64
inches. How far is this in yards?
Write your answer as a whole number or a mixed number in simplest form. Include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

1 yard = 36 inches

Answer 2

64 inches=? yards
We know that 1 yard=36 inches so 64-36=? the remainder you need to make into a decimal then just convert

Answer 3

36

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

28

Answer 6

Wait you can just divide 36/64

Answer 7

\[\left( 64 inches \right) \times \left( \frac{ 1 yard }{ 36 inches } \right)\]

Answer 8

Note the units cancel out that's all these problems want you to learn, how to cancel units

Answer 9

I've cancelled a lot of units in my life...those poor units

Answer 10

1.7 @pooja195

Answer 11

\[64 \div 36 \]

Take the remainder and then put it over 36.
\(\large \frac{?}{36}\)

Answer 12

You still get 1.7 but as a repeating decimal

Answer 13

They want it as a mixed number

Answer 14

1+7/9

Answer 15

\[1 \frac{ 7 }{ 9 }\]

Answer 16

Yes that's correct ^

Answer 17

Thanks!

Answer 18

Meaning everyone

Answer 19

I just hope you know how to get it that way, you can do long division to find the remainder as others have told you

Answer 20

I don't think you'll ever use mixed fractions after elementary

Answer 21

I feel like @Astrophysics way of cancelling would have been alot more easier if you aren't good at dividing

Answer 22

I signed up for this yesterday

Answer 23

Welcome to openstudy :)

Answer 24

Oh yes, that method the way I showed with units is how you do it in the sciences and is super convenient all around
