The length of one rope = 9 in
Number of ropes Jared have = 2.
The total inches of rope does Jared have will be calculated as under -
We can add the length of two ropes as = 9 in + 9 in = 18 in
Or we can do it by other method as well.
The other method is by multiplying -
The total inches of rope does Jared have = The length of one rope × Number of ropes Jared have
The total inches of rope does Jared have = 9 in × 2 ropes = 18 in
