First, we need to convert the yards that Lucas has into inches, since the extra amount that his brother has is provided in inches. There are 36 inches in 1 yard. Lucas has 2 yards of string. So, let's convert Lucas's yards into inches:
2 yards * 36 inches/yard = 72 inches
Lucas has 72 inches of string. His brother has one inch more than this. So, let's add that inch:
72 inches + 1 inch = 73 inches
Lucas's brother has 73 inches of string.
Lucas gas 2 yards of string. If his brother has one inch more than lucas, how many inches of string does lucas's brother have
