Question

Francois and his friends built a wall of orange cones to divide the school field in half. They lined the cones up from end to end. They found that the length of their wall was 1,329 inches. What was the length of their wall in feet?

Divide the total length of the wall by the number of inches in 1 foot.

Answer 1

There are 12 inches in a foot, so divide 1329 by 12:

1329 ÷ 12 = 110 remainder 9 = 110 9/12 = 110 3/4 feet = 110.75 feet.
