Answer:
20 1/2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length is found by adding the lengths of the individual pieces. It can be easier if you use multiplication in place of repeated addition. You want ...
(2 × 5 feet) + (7 × 18 inches)
At some point in the process, you need to convert inches to feet. This is done by remembering that 12 inches = 1 foot. Dividing inches by 12 gives feet.
The above expression evaluates to
10 feet + 126 inches = 10 feet + (126/12) feet = 10 feet + 10.5 feet
= 20.5 feet
