This looks like adding like terms so 4+ 16=?
Then put the yd2ft back behind the number
Hope this helps sorry.
OpenStudy (steve816):

OpenStudy (zoekeya):

Leave it alone
OpenStudy (steve816):
I think the questioner is asking to add 4 yd and 2 feet to 16 yd and 2 feet. Those aren't called like-terms.
OpenStudy (zoekeya):
I thought maybe the 2 meant squared
OpenStudy (steve816):
ah, I see why you thought that.
OpenStudy (lexy148):
so my answer would be 20yd 4ft? @steve816

i added 16 + 4 then added the two two's together
OpenStudy (steve816):
You have to convert yards to feet.
3 feet = 1 yard
OpenStudy (lexy148):
idk why but the answer on the back of my book says 21yd1ft instead of 20yd 4ft @steve816
OpenStudy (lexy148):
do you think i did it wrong?
OpenStudy (steve816):
I know, that was wrong. As I said, you have to convert yards to feet.

OpenStudy (steve816):
4 * 3 = 12
OpenStudy (lexy148):
