Question

Lamont builds a toy block tower 4 feet high. He then puts a toy antenna on the towerthat is 4 foot tall.What is the height of the block tower including the tower antenna?

Answer 1

Draw a diagramatic representation of the question

Step 2

Add both heights to determine the height of the block including the tower antenna

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)+4(2)/(3) \\ =(1)/(4)+(14)/(3) \\ =(59)/(12)\text{feet} \\ =4(11)/(12)\text{ f}eet \end{gathered}`

Hence the total height required = 59/12 feet or 4 11/12 feet approximately
