Question

Bill's SUV is 6 feet 4 inches tall. If he puts a 2 -foot 9 -inch box on top of his SUV, what is the total height of the SUV and the box (in feet and inches)?

Answer 1

Bills suv becomes 9ft 1in

Answer 2

Answer: The total height of the SUV and the box is 9 feet 1 inch.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first convert the height of the SUV and the box from feet and inches to inches. The height of the SUV is 6 feet 4 inches, which is equal to 76 inches. The height of the box is 2 feet 9 inches, which is equal to 33 inches. We then add the heights of the SUV and the box to get the total height:

76 inches + 33 inches = 109 inches

To convert this back to feet and inches, we divide by 12 to get 9, with a remainder of 1. Therefore, the total height of the SUV and the box is 9 feet 1 inch.
