How many 2-inch segments are there in 12 ft.?
a. 10
b. 24
c. 6
d. 72

Every foot is composed of 12 inches. Below is the way to solve the number of inches (n) in 12 ft.
 
                                     n = (12 ft) x (12 inches / 1 ft) = 144 inches

To determine the number of 2-inch segments, divide 144 inches by 2. The division gives an answer of 72. Thus, there are 72 2-inch segment in 12 ft. 
                                          

The answer is: y would equal 3 because if you simplify the equation then it would be y= 3x+9 and if you divide 3x and 9 by 3 it would equal 3. y= 3

2/1 or just 2. sorry if i get this wrong
