Question

Lily built an orange shelf and brown shelf to hang in her room. The orange shelf is 5 feet 8 inches long. The brown shelf is twice as long what is the length of the brown shelf

Answer 1

11 feet and 10 inches

Explanation:

First, change the equation to inches. Each foot is 12 inches, and 5 (the number of feet) times 12 is 60. Add 11 and you have 71. Double 71 is 142. To get this back to feet, divide 142 by 12. You get 11.83. So the answer is 11 feet and 10 inches
