Will bought a pedometer to measure how far he walks every day. According to the pedometer, he moves about #27 5/8# inches with each step he takes when he walks .How many feet did Will travel in 96 steps?

1 Answer

#221# #feet#

Explanation:

1 step = #27 5/8#
96 steps = #96xx27 5/8#

#96/1xx221/8#

#=(12cancel96)/1xx221/(1cancel8)=12xx221#

#=2652#inches

#2652-:12#

#=221# ft

CHECK
#5/8=0.625#

#27.625 " inches"=2.302ft#

#1 " step" = 2.302f#t

#96 " steps"= 96xx2.302#

#220.99ft#

#~~221# ft
