Question

Lee needed to make Drapes the length from the floor to the top of the window the wall beneath the window had the height of 2 2/3 feet and the height of just the window measured 2 3/4 feet how long do the Drapes have to be

Answer 1

Answer: 5 feet 5 inches

Explanation:

2 2/3 + 2 3/4 is equal to 5 5/12 so the drapes will be 5 5/12 feet long (or 5 feet 5 inches)

Answer 2

The length of the drapes have to be
`5(5)/(12)\ ft`

Explanation:

Given : Lee needed to make Drapes the length from the floor to the top of the window the wall beneath the window had the height of
`2(2)/(3)` feet and the height of just the window measured
`2(3)/(4)` feet.

To find : How long do the Drapes have to be?

Solution :

The height of the wall beneath the window is
`2(2)/(3)=(8)/(3)\ ft`

The height of the window is
`2(3)/(4)=(11)/(4)\ ft`

The total height from the floor to the top of the window is

`H=(8)/(3)+(11)/(4)`

`H=(32+33)/(12)`

`H=(65)/(12)`

`H=5(5)/(12)\ ft`

Therefore, The length of the drapes have to be
`5(5)/(12)\ ft`
