Answer 1

To find out how many feet are in 6 yards, we can use the fact that there are 3 feet in one yard. Therefore, we can calculate the total number of feet in 6 yards using the equation:

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

Now, let's evaluate the expressions provided:

1. 06 ÷ 3: This expression calculates to 2, which is incorrect for the total feet in 6 yards.
2. 06 + 3: This equals 9, which is also incorrect for the total feet in 6 yards.
3. 03 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3: This sums up to 18, representing 6 groups of 3 feet. This expression is correct.
4. 03 x 6: This equals 18, as it represents 3 feet per yard for 6 yards. This expression is correct.
5. 06 + 6 + 6: This equals 18, as it consists of three groups of 6, matching the total feet. This expression is correct.

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

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

You should select these three expressions and check your answers.
