A chain of six paper dolls is one foot long. How long would 100 chain of paper dolls be?

Answer 1

A chain of six paper dolls is one foot long. I foot is twelve inches. If six dolls fit within this measurement, that means the dolls are two inches each.

One hundred dolls at two inches each would be 200 inches. Since we already know that a foot is 12 inches, we would divide 200 inches by 12 to discover that the chain would be 16 feet and 8 inches long!

6x=12

x/6=12/6

x=2

100*2/12=200/12

200/12=16.66666666

.66=²/₃ or 8 inches

16 feet and 8 inches

Answer 2

If every 6 dolls equals one foot, you can find how many feet 100 dolls would be by dividing 100 by 6. Then, if there is a remaining amount, then you would divide it by 12 inches, since that is how many inches are in a foot. So your end answer would be in ft and inches.
