Answer:

12 feet 9 inches

Explanation:

There are 3 feet in a yard, and 12 inches in a foot. Multiply those together and you get 36 inches in a yard.

2 yards × 36 inches/yard = 72 inches

2 feet × 12 inches/foot = 24 inches

72 inches + 24 inches = 96 inches

------------

7 yards × 36 inches/yard = 252 inches

252 inches + 9 inches = 261 inches

==============

Add those together:

96 inches + 261 inches = 357 inches

Then to convert to feet again, you need to divide by 12 and find the remainder. I prefer to do it with a calculator like this, but you can do it however you prefer:

357 ÷ 12 = 29.75 feet (round down)

12 × 29 = 348 inches in 12 feet

Then find the remainder:

357 - 348 = 9 inches

12 feet 9 inches
