No, Gary's equation will not give the correct answer. To find the length of the rope in inches, we need to convert the feet measurement to inches. Since there are 12 inches in one foot, we need to multiply the number of feet by 12 to find the total length in inches.
In this case, Gary's rope is 9 feet long, so we need to multiply 9 by 12 to get the total length in inches. This gives us 108 inches.
Therefore, the correct equation to find the length of the rope in inches would be 12x = 108, where x represents the length of the rope in inches.
Gary has a rope that is 9 feet long. He wants to find out how many inches long the rope is he uses the equation X over 12=9 or x/12=9.Will Gary’s equation find the correct answer? Explain.
