Question

Help meee

Answer 1

8 ft 2 inches

There are 12 inches per foot so:

 

Room height:  8(12)+2 = 98 inches

Maria's height:              - 64 inches

                                 -----------------

                                      34 inches

 

34/12 = 2 8/12 so the distance is 2 ft 8 inches
