Answer:

D) 11 feet and 11 inches

Explanation:

First we know that there is 12 inches in a foot. So let's start with a.

14 inches x 12 inches (one foot) is 168 inches (so it's not this one:)

13 inches x 12 inches is 156 inches (It's not this one either)

12 inches x 12 inches is 144 inches (not this one)

11 inches x 12 inches is 132 inches (so it could be this one, let's add the remaining inches).

132 + 11 inches = 143 inches.

(Notice I didn't add the remaining inches on A, B, or C because the number of inches was already too much. I did on D because the number of inches was below the given number of 143.

Hope this helps!!

Have a wonderful day!!
