We have 3 tables that are placed side by side.
We have to find the final width of them combined.
Then, the final width will be the sum of the width of the 3 tables:
We know that the total width is 30 in, but we need to express it as feet and inches.
Knowing that 1 foot is 12 inches, we wan divide the total width by 12 and see how many feet it represents:
So we will express this width as 2 ft plus a remaining quantity in inches. This remaining quantity is 0.5 ft, but we have to convert it to inches.
To do that, we use the equivalency 12 inches = 1 foot, and multiply the remaining quantity to express it in inches:
Then, we add the 2 feet and the final width results in 2 feet and 6 inches.
