Answer 1

To find out how many feet are in 6 yards, you can multiply the number of yards by the number of feet in one yard.

Since there are 3 feet in 1 yard, you would calculate:

6 yards × 3 feet/yard = 18 feet.

Now, let's analyze the expressions you provided to see which ones correctly represent the calculation of 18 feet:

1. 6 + 6 + 6: This equals 18. (Correct)
2. 6 + 3: This equals 9. (Incorrect)
3. 6 ÷ 3: This equals 2. (Incorrect)
4. 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3: This equals 18. (Correct)
5. 3 x 6: This equals 18. (Correct)

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

• 6 + 6 + 6
• 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
• 3 x 6

Those are the three expressions that apply.
