Answer 2

27 inches

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`2(1)/(4) ft`
1 foot = 12 inches

To find the answer we convert the mixed number into a decimal and then multiply by 12. (Since, 1 foot is 12 inches)


`12*2=24`

`1/4=1/4=0.25`

`2+0.25=2.25`

`2.25*12=27`

`=27in`

Hope this helps.
