A school club needs 300 feet of rope for a project.
They have the amounts of rope listed below. 2 pieces of rope that each 16 yards in length. 1 piece of rope that is 12.5 yards in length. 1 piece of rope that is 123.25 feet in length.
We will need this conversion formula:
1 yard = 3 foot.
Now let us find dimensions of each part.
2 pieces of rope that each 16 yards in length = 2*16 =32 yards 32*3 = 96 feet.
1 piece of rope that is 12.5 yards in length or 37.5 feet.
1 piece of rope that is 123.25 feet in length.
Adding the three measures = 96 + 37.5 +123.25 = 256.75 feet.
Rope required = 300 - 256.75 = 43.25 feet.
Answer : The school club needs additional 43.25 feet of rope.
