Answer:

42 inches

Explanation:

The question is basically asking you to convert 3 1/2 ft into inches. Since there are 12 inches in a feet you have to multiply 3 1/2 by 12. It easier to do it when you turn 3 1/2 into a decimal, which would be 3.5. So then, you multiply 3.5 by 12, to get 42 inches.

12 inches = 1 feet

3 1/2 = 3.5

3.5 x 12 = 42

The house will be 42 inches tall.
