    Answer: the length of the white rope is 77 inches.

    Step-by-step explanation: The yellow rope is 18 inches shorter than twice the length of the white rope. If Y is the length of the yellow, and W the length of the white one, this can be expressed as 2*W - Y = 18 inches.

    now we know that Y = 10 + 1/2 feet = 10.5 feet.

    and 1 feet = 12 inches, then Y = 10.5*12 = 126 inches.

    putting it in the equation that we found earlier, we got 2*W - 126 = 18

    then: 2*W = 126 + 18 = 144 inches

    W = 144/2 = 77 inches.
