Answer:

2857

Explanation:

  • 1 yard = 36 inches
  • 1 inch = 2.54 cm

Converting the length of a football field to cm:

  • 100 y * [tex]\frac{36in}{1y}*\frac{2.54cm}{1in}[/tex] = 9144 cm

Calculating the number of paperclips:

  • 9144 / 3.2 = 2857.5

So rounding down the answer is that 2857 paperclips would fit in the length of a football field.
