Answer:
[tex]7\frac{1}{3}[/tex] feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Robin needed 3 2/3 feet of thread to finish a pillow she was making. We are asked to find the length of thread, if she has 2 times as much as thread as she needs.
First of all, we will convert [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] into improper fraction as:
[tex]3\frac{2}{3}\rightarrow \frac{3*3+2}{3}=\frac{9+2}{3}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
Two times the length of thread would be:
[tex]2\times\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2\times11}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{22}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3*7+1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]7\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, Robin had [tex]7\frac{1}{3}[/tex] feet of thread.
