Answer:

102 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the string of lights = 8 feet 6 inches long.

To determine the length in inches, first, convert 8 feet to inches.

$\begin{gathered} 1\text{ feet=12 inches} \\ \implies8\text{ feet=}8*12=96\text{ inches} \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} 8\text{ feet 6 inches=96+6} \\ =102\text{ inches} \end{gathered}$

The length, in inches, of the string of lights is 102.
