The underpass of a bridge has an actual clearance of 15 feet. A truck is 14 feet 2 inches tall. How much space is there between the top of the truck and the top of the bridge's underpass?

The answer is 10 because 1 foot is 12 inches and 12-2=10

The answer is 8 inches because 14 feet 2 inches + 8 inches=15 feet
