The longest loaf of bread on record was once 1,256 feet, 2 inches long. If this bread had been cut into 1/2 inch slices.

Question

How many slices of bread with there have been?

Answer 1

First convert the length of the bread to inches: 1,256 feet, 2 inches = 1,256 ft *(12 in/1 ft) + 2 in = 15,072 + 2

= 15,074 inches

 

15,074 in ÷ 0.5 in = 30,148 slices
