Perform the indicated operation and simplify the result if possible. 2 ft. 11 in. + 7 ft. 3 in.
A. 9, 2
B. 10, 4
C. 9, 3
D. 10, 2
? not sure
2 ft + 7 ft = 9 ft
11 in + 3 in = 14 in
thats what i thought then so then C ?
No, not c.
9 feet + 14 inches is not 9 feet 3 inches
Yes, D.
thank you!!!!! this site is such a big help!
You're very welcome. :-)
To perform the indicated operation and simplify, you need to add the given measurements. Let's break it down and add the feet and inches separately.
First, let's add the feet:
2 ft. + 7 ft. = 9 ft.
Next, let's add the inches:
11 in. + 3 in. = 14 in.
Now, we have 9 ft and 14 in. However, to simplify the result, we need to convert any excess inches into feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can do the conversion.
14 in. = 1 ft. 2 in.
So, our final result is 9 ft. 1 in. Therefore, the correct answer is option C. 9, 3.
