Answer:
72 segments
Step-by-step explanation:
First we convert 2 inches to feet units:
We know that one foot equals 12 inches
Then we use this conversion factor as shown below.
[tex]2\ in*\frac{1\ ft}{12\ in}=\frac{1}{6}\ ft[/tex]
To know how many [tex]\frac{1}{6}\ ft[/tex] segments there are in 12 ft, we must divide 12 ft ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{6}}\ ft[/tex]
So:
[tex]\frac{12\ ft}{\frac{1}{6}\ ft}= 12*\frac{6}{1}=12*6=72\ segments[/tex]
In 12 ft there are 72 2-inch segments
