Question

Josephine wants to put a wallpaper border around the ceiling of her room. The dimensions are 7 ft and 3 inches and 8 feet and 3 inches. How many feet of border does she need?

Answer 1

Answer:
372inches or 31feet
How to:
7feet and three inches is equal to 87 inches and 8ft and 3 inches is equal to 99 inches. Then you know that both sides have to be multiplied by two because there are four sides in the room. Meaning you have 174in and 198in. Then you add those together to get your answer which is 372. To get back to feet just divide by twelve.
