Answer:


68 (4)/(5) inch


5 (11)/(15) feet

Explanation:

1 inch = (1/4) hand

⇒ 1 hand = 4 inch

The height of average Clydesdale =
17 (1)/(5) hand

=
(17 (1)/(5)) * 4 inch

=
68 (4)/(5) inch -----(1)

=
(344)/(5) inch

=
(344)/(5 * 12) feet

(since 12 inch = 1 foot)

=
5 (11)/(15) feet -----(2)
