Question

The piano measures 19/4 feet long does it fit in a 5 foot long space?

Answer 1

Answer:

Piano fits in the given space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of Piano = $\frac{19}{4}\,feet$

           Length of Space 5 foot

To find: If piano fits in the space or not

Piano fits in the space if its length is less than length of space .i.e., 5 foot

length of piano = $\frac{19}{4}$ feet

feet is just plural of foot

So, conversion of unit not needed

Length of piano is improper fraction ( fraction whose numerator is gretaer than denominator ) So, it ca be expressed in mixed fraction.

$\implies\frac{19}{4}=4\frac{3}{4}$

This shows that Piano's length is more than 4 but less than 5.

Therefore, Piano fits in the given space.
