Convert to feet: Convert the total length to feet for easier calculation. Since 1 yard =3 feet, 16 yards =48 feet. Adding the 2 feet gives us 50 feet in total.
Divide by 2: Divide the total feet by 2 to find the new length. 50 feet ÷2=25 feet.
Convert back to yards: Convert the result back to yards and feet. Since 1 yard =3 feet, 25 feet is 8 yards and 1 foot (because 25−24=1).
