Answer 1

To determine how many feet are in 6 yards, you can use the fact that there are 3 feet in 1 yard. Therefore, to find the total number of feet in 6 yards, you can multiply the number of yards by the number of feet per yard, or add up the number of feet represented by the 6 yards.

The correct expressions are:

1. \(3 \times 6\) (This shows multiplication to find the total feet).
2. \(6 + 6 + 6\) (This adds the number of feet in each yard: 6 yards with 3 feet each).
3. \(3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3\) (This adds the individual feet for each of the 6 yards).

The other options, \(6 + 3\) and \(6 \div 3\), do not accurately express the total feet in 6 yards.

So the three correct responses are:

1. \(3 \times 6\)
2. \(6 + 6 + 6\)
3. \(3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3\)
