Question 25

There are 18 feet in 6 yards.

To convert yards to feet, one must know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, to find out how many feet are in 6 yards, you multiply 6 by 3, resulting in 18 feet.

A) 2 feet

This option is incorrect because 2 feet is significantly less than the number of feet in 6 yards. Since 1 yard equals 3 feet, even 1 yard alone is already 3 feet, making 2 feet an illogical choice.

B) 9 feet

This option is also incorrect. While it is true that 3 yards equal 9 feet, the question specifically asks for 6 yards, which would be twice that amount, hence 9 feet does not represent the correct conversion.

C) 36 feet

This option is incorrect as well. Although 36 feet is a multiple of the conversion factor, it represents the total feet in 12 yards (since 12 yards times 3 feet equals 36 feet). The correct calculation for 6 yards yields only 18 feet.

D) 18 feet

This is the correct answer. By multiplying 6 yards by the conversion factor of 3 feet per yard, we arrive at the total of 18 feet. This accurately reflects the conversion from yards to feet.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 18 feet because it directly results from the proper conversion of 6 yards using the known ratio of feet to yards. The other options either underestimate or overestimate the conversion, demonstrating a misunderstanding of the yard-to-foot ratio. Thus, option D is the only accurate choice.
