Question

Reduce to lowest terms

Answer 1

Answer:

4 ft 5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding:

   $2\ ft\ 8\ in$

+ $1\ ft\ 9\ in$

We get $3\ ft\ and\ 17\ in$.

$17\ in$ can be further converted to $ft\ and\ in$

As $12\ in = 1\ ft$

∴$17\ in =12\ in + 5\ in=1\ ft + 5\ in$

∴ Reduced form is =  $3\ ft\ +1\ ft + 5\ in=4\ ft\ 5\ in$
