Step-by-step explanation:
14 yd 1 ft 7 in
+ 16 yd 2 ft 19 in
-------------------------
30 yd 3 ft 26 in
26 inches is 2 feet and 2 inches ---> 30 yd 5 ft 2 in
5 feet is 1 yard and 2 feet ---> 31 yd 2 ft 2 in
Answer:
31 yards 2 foot 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To know the full distance, we need to sum both distances unit by unit. That means, we sum yards with yards, foot with foot and inches with inches. Then we converted to the larger unit whenever possible, starting from the smaller one.
Total yards: 14 + 16 = 30 yards
Total foot: 1 + 2 = 3 foot
Total inches: 7 + 19 = 26 inches
As 12 inches are 1 feet, 12*2 = 24 inches are 1*2=2 foot. Therefore, as 26 = 12*2 + 2, 26 inches are 2 foot and 2 inches.
Now we have 3 + 2 = 5 foot.
As 3 foot are 1 yard, 5 foot are 1 yard and 2 foot.
Now we have 30 + 1 = 31 yards.
Getting all together, the full distance is 31 yards 2 foot 2 inches
