Question

Three dressers are placed side by side. One dresser is 5 feet 5 inches wide, another is 5 feet 10 inches wide, and the third is 3 feet 11 inches wide. How wide are they combined?

Answer 1

15 feets 2 inches

Explanation:

Given the widths :

1st dresser = 5 feets 5 inches

2nd dresser = 5 feets 10 inches

3rd dresser = 3 feets 11 inches

Their combined width is :

5ft + 5ft + 3 ft + 5in + 10in + 11in

13 feets 26 inches

Recall :

1 foot = 12 inches

26 inches = 26/12 feets = 2 feets 2 inches

Hence,

13 feets + 2feets 2 inches

Combined width = 15 feets 2 inches
