Answer 1

To determine how many feet are in 6 yards, we can use the conversion factor that there are 3 feet in 1 yard. Therefore, to find the number of feet in 6 yards, we can multiply:

\[ 6 \text{ yards} \times 3 \text{ feet/yard} = 18 \text{ feet} \]

Now, let's analyze the given expressions to see which ones equal 18 feet:

1. 06:3 - This is not a valid mathematical expression, so it does not apply.
2. 06+3 - This equals 6 + 3 = 9, which is not correct.
3. 03+3+3+3+3+3 - This equals 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 18, which is correct.
4. 03x6 - This equals 3 × 6 = 18, which is correct.
5. 06+6+6 - This equals 6 + 6 + 6 = 18, which is correct.

The three expressions that correctly describe how many feet are in 6 yards are:

• 03 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
• 03 x 6
• 06 + 6 + 6

You would select these three options.
