To determine if Sidharth has enough string for his project and how much string will be left after using it, follow these steps:
1. Convert the string length from yards to feet:
- Sidharth has a ball of string that is 8 yards long.
- We know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet.
- Therefore, to convert 8 yards to feet, you multiply the number of yards by the number of feet per yard:
[tex]\[
8 \text{ yards} \times 3 \text{ feet per yard} = 24 \text{ feet}
\][/tex]
So, Sidharth's string is 24 feet long.
2. Calculate how much string he needs for the project:
- Sidharth needs 20 feet of string for his project.
3. Determine if he has enough string for the project:
- Compare the length of string Sidharth has (24 feet) to the length of string needed for the project (20 feet).
- Since 24 feet (what he has) is greater than 20 feet (what he needs), he has enough string.
4. Calculate the remaining string after the project:
- Subtract the length of string needed (20 feet) from the total length of string he has (24 feet):
[tex]\[
24 \text{ feet} - 20 \text{ feet} = 4 \text{ feet}
\][/tex]
So, after using 20 feet of string for the project, Sidharth will have 4 feet of string remaining.
In summary:
- Sidharth has 24 feet of string.
- He needs 20 feet for the project.
- He has enough string for the project.
- After the project, 4 feet of string will be left.
Thus, the results are:
- Length of string in feet: 24 feet.
- Remaining string after the project: 4 feet.
- Enough string available: True.
