Since 12inches =1foot

so he needs 36inches and plus 6inches more, so it is =42 inches that he needs

and then just convert 42 inches to feet

=3.5 feet

hope it works

WOW! That was a long way around to get to a wrong answer! His waist is 36 inches, the string needs to be 4 inches longer. 36 + 4 = 40 inches.
