Answer:

Codes are given below:

Explanation:

Since the language is not specified, I am writing it in c++. I have added comments to explain each line

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() //Start of main function

{

int feet1, feet2 , inches1, inches2, t_feet, t_inches; //declaring the variables

cout << "Enter the Feet for the first piece of fabric:"<<endl;

cin >> feet1; //this will take the feet piece1 as an input

cout << "Enter the Inches for the first piece of fabric:"<<endl;

cin >> inches1; //this will take the inches piece1 as an input

cout << "Enter the Feet for the second piece of fabric:"<<endl;

cin >> feet2; //this will take the feet piece2 as an input

cout << "Enter the Inches for the second piece of fabric:"<<endl;

cin >> inches2; //this will take the inches piece2 as an input

t_feet = feet1 + feet2; //adding the feet

t_inches = inches1 + inches2; //adding the inches

if (t_inches> 11) //checkimg if the inches are greater than 11

{

t_feet = t_feet + t_inches/12; //converting inches to feet that are greater than 12

t_inches = t_inches%12; //getting the remaining inches after converting them to feet

}

cout <<"The total length: " << t_feet <<" feet and" << t_inches <<" inches" << endl;

return 0;

} //End of main function
