Answer:

[tex]6\frac{3}{4}\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

but first convert mixed number to an improper fraction

so

[tex]2\frac{1}{4}\ ft=2+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}\ ft[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9}{4}(3)=\frac{27}{4}\ ft[/tex]

convert to mixed number

[tex]\frac{27}{4}\ ft=\frac{24}{4}+\frac{3}{4}=6\frac{3}{4}\ ft[/tex]
