Answer:

The total length of the fox is 30 3/5 inches

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the total length of a fox, given the length of its head and body and also the length of its tail.

Mathematically, the total length of the fox = length of its head and body + length of its tail

length of the head and body = 19 4/5

length of its tail = 10 4/5

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

19 4/5 + 10 4/5

99/5 + 54/5 = (99 + 54)/5 = 153/5 = 30 3/5 inches
