Question

Kamal is buying supplies for a science lab. He needs a piece of wire 7 feet long. He finds wire for sale at a store that lists the lengths in inches. How many inches of wire should Kamal buy?

1 answer

To convert feet to inches, we need to multiply the length in feet by 12 (since there are 12 inches in 1 foot).

Thus, Kamal would need to buy 7 * 12 = <<7*12=84>>84 inches of wire. Answer: \boxed{84}.
