The height of Maury’s room is 8.4 feet from the floor to the ceiling. Maury wants to install a ceiling fan that hangs 1.875 feet below the ceiling. If Maury is 6.6 feet tall, which explains whether Maury’s head will hit the fan? Maury’s head will hit the fan because there are 6.525 feet between the floor and the fan, and 6.525 is less than 6.6. Maury’s head will not hit the fan because there are 6.525 feet between the floor and the fan, and 6.525 is less than 6.6. Maury’s head will hit the fan because there are 6.675 feet between the floor and the fan, and 6.675 is less than 6.6. Maury’s head will not hit the fan because there are 6.675 feet between the floor and the fan, and 6.675 is less than 6.6.

Subtract the ceiling fan from the height of the room:

8.4 - 1.875 = 6.525 feet

The answer is:

Maury’s head will hit the fan because there are 6.525 feet between the floor and the fan, and 6.525 is less than 6.6.
