Answer 1

About 6 feet. I hope this helped!!!

Answer 2

6 feet.

Explanation:

Peter measured the width of one cardboard strip as =
`2(3)/(4)` feet.

He measured the width of second cardboard strip as =
`3(2)/(3)` feet.

The combined width of the cardboard strip =
`2(3)/(4)` +
`2(3)/(4)`

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

=
`(33+44)/(12)`

=
`(77)/(12)`

=
`6(5)/(12)` ≈ 6 feet

The combined width of the cardboard is about 6 feet.
