Complete Question
Three dressers are placed side by side. One dresser is 3 feet 9 inches wide, another is 3 feet 3 inches wide, and the third is 5 feet 11 inches wide. How wide are they combined? Write your answer in feet and inches. Use a number less than for inches
Answer:
12 feet 11 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the above question, we would have to add up all the width of thee dressers together.
Hence:
3 feet 9 inches + 3 feet 3 inches + 5 feet 11 inches
= (3 feet + 3 feet + 5 feet) + (9 inches + 3 inches + 11 inches)
= 11 feet +( 23 inches)
Note that
12 inches = 1 feet
Hence:
11 feet (23 inches/12 inches)
11 feet (1 feet + 11 inches)
= 12 feet 11 inches.
Therefore, the width of the 3 dressers combined = 12 feet 11 inches
