Answer 1

To determine how many feet are in 6 yards, we can use the conversion fact that there are 3 feet in 1 yard. Therefore, for 6 yards, we would calculate:

6 yards * 3 feet/yard = 18 feet.

Now let's evaluate the options provided:

1. 6 + 3 - This does not describe how many feet are in 6 yards (it's just 9).

2. 3 x 6 - This correctly represents the calculation for finding the number of feet in 6 yards, as it equals 18 feet.

3. 6 ÷ 3 - This is incorrect because it suggests dividing 6 by 3 (which equals 2), not representing the conversion of yards to feet.

4. 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 - This is correct because it adds 3 feet for each of the 6 yards, resulting in 18 feet.

5. 6 + 6 + 6 - This does not represent the correct calculations as it equals 18. However, it does imply grouping two yards (2 x 6 feet = 12 feet) but it does not accurately depict the total for 6 yards.

So the correct expressions that describe how many feet are in 6 yards are:

• 3 x 6
• 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3

You should select those two options.
