Question

If 1 foot = 12 inches, then the total length of eight 2-inch tiles connected with one another is ___.

• A. 1 foot and 5 inches
• B. 1 foot and 7 inches
• C. 1 foot and 4 inches
• D. 1 foot and 6 inches

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1 foot and 4 inches

Number of tiles = 8
Length of each tile = 2 inches
Total length of all 8 tiles = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 16 inches
16 inches = 12 inches + 4 inches
Given 1 foot = 12 inches. So,
16 inches = 1 foot + 4 inches
Therefore, the total length of eight 2-inch tiles connected with one another is 1 foot and 4 inches.
