A construction company ordered
85
wood beams for a new project. Each beam was
25.5ft
long. What was the total length of all of the beams put together? Write your answer in yards.
Use the table of conversion facts as necessary, and do not round your answer
1 foot = 0.33333 yards

85 beams * 25.5 feet/beam = 2167.5 feet

2167.5 feet * 0.33333 yards/foot = 722.5005 yards

So the total length of all the beams put together was 722.5005 yards.
Frank used
6
rolls of blue fabric to make costumes for the annual school play. He used a total length of
14.4yd
of fabric. If each roll had the same length of fabric, how much fabric was in each roll? Write your answer in inches.
