The American flag has 13 horizontal stripes. If the flag outside of Victor’s house is 4 feet tall and 6 feet wide, how many inches tall is each of the 13 stripes? Express your answer as a mixed number.

First, convert the height (4 feet) to inches. 4 feet = 48 inches. Now divide by 13.

48/13 = 3 9/13 inches tall.



hope it helps
