24 * 47.5 = ?
570 feet
To answer part A, we multiply 24 boards by 47.5 inches to get 1,140 inches, which is 95 feet of boards. To answer part B, we know that an 8-foot board is 96 inches, so we can divide 1,140 by 96 to get 11.875 boards that Corey must buy, but since he can only buy 8-foot boards, he will have to buy a total of 12 boards and he will have extra left over.
