Question

help i need help figuring out this.

Answer 1

(2 feet 9 inches) + (3 feet + 8 inches)

 

 

First, we will convert all units to inches.

 

12 inches = 1 foot

 

 

Therefore,

 

(24 inches 9 inches) + (36 inches 8 inches) =

 

33 inches + 44 inches =

 

77 inches =

 

72 inches 5 inches =

 

6 feet 5 inches
