My friend would like to know, how long is a piece of string?

I don't know but I can tell you it is 12 times longer in inches than it is in feet.

Double the length from the middle to one end.

Questions like this should be deleted right away by Yahoo!. All they do it take up space for Yahoo! and waste peoples' time. What the hell kind of question is this? How long is a piece of string? and then you say it's imaginary? Who gives a ****.

unravel a and measure it simple!!

A piece of string is twice half its length. A piece long enough, would go around the Equator (about 26,000 miles. Tie a piece on to the next Moon shot vehicle and hold on to the other end,and it would be 240,000 miles long. A piece around your little finger as a reminder of something will be about 2" long including the knot. So, who can say how long a piece of string is ?

Twice the distance from the middle to the end.

Quite simply it's twice the distance from the start till the mid point.

As long as you want it to be, petal!!
