Question 845190: Fred has 10 pieces of rope for a craft project. If each piece of rope is one fourth yard long, what is the total length of rope Fred has? Plz, plz, plz heeeeeeelp! Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! He has 10 times 1/4 yard of rope
-------------------------------
What is 2 times 1/4 of a yard?
That is 1/2 of a yard
-------------------------
10 times = 5 x 2, so you need to
multiply 1/2 yard five more times
( 1/2 yard )*5 = 2 1/2 yards
--------------------------
Hope this helps
