Answer 1

Yes it would because 19/4 simplified is 4 3/4 which is less than 5 feet so it woudl fit

Answer 2

Piano fits in the given space.

Explanation:

Given: Length of Piano =
`(19)/(4)\,feet`

Length of Space 5 foot

To find: If piano fits in the space or not

Piano fits in the space if its length is less than length of space .i.e., 5 foot

length of piano =
`(19)/(4)` feet

feet is just plural of foot

So, conversion of unit not needed

Length of piano is improper fraction ( fraction whose numerator is gretaer than denominator ) So, it ca be expressed in mixed fraction.

`\implies(19)/(4)=4(3)/(4)`

This shows that Piano's length is more than 4 but less than 5.

Therefore, Piano fits in the given space.
