To multiply 17 yards 1 foot by 2, first convert the entire measurement into feet, then perform the multiplication, and finally convert back into yards and feet.
1 yard = 3 feet, so:
- 17 yards = 17 × 3 = 51 feet
Now, add the additional foot:
- Total in feet = 51 feet + 1 foot = 52 feet
Now multiply by 2:
- 52 feet × 2 = 104 feet
Next, convert 104 feet back to yards and feet:
- To find out how many yards are in 104 feet, divide by 3:
- 104 feet ÷ 3 yards/foot = 34 yards with a remainder of 2 feet
- (34 yards × 3 = 102 feet; 104 feet - 102 feet = 2 feet)
So, the result is: 34 yards 2 feet.
