Answer:

8 ft 8 in

Explanation:

104/12 = 8.666...

This shows that there are 8 total feet because there are 12 inches in a foot

Then, multiply 8*12 to get 96 in order to get the remainder of the inches left that do not make up one whole foot.

Then subtract 96 from 104 (104-96) to get the remainder which is 8 inches.
