Answer:
The total would be 130 inches, or 10 feet, 10 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find your answer to this problem, you should convert everything to the same unit. This means that you should change everything to either feet or inches. The easiest way to do this would be to turn everything to inches, add them up, and convert them back to feet if needed. To convert feet to inches, multiply your number of feet by 12 (since there are twelve inches in a foot). If we start with the six feet, two inches, we multiply 6 feet * 12 = 72 inches, plus the two inches you had in the first place. This makes 72 + 2 = 74 inches. Write that down and put it aside for the moment. Now, convert 4 feet, 8 inches to feet: 4 feet * 12 = 48 inches, plus the 8 inches we had before; 48 + 8 = 56. Your two numbers you have now are 56 and 74, which you can add together to get 130 inches. If you are supposed to answer in inches, that would be your answer, but to turn it back into the format of feet and inches, you would divide by 12 and your leftover would be the number of inches. 130 inches ÷ 12 = 10 feet, 10 inches. So, 6 ft, 2 inches plus 4 ft, 8 inches makes 130 inches, or 10 feet and 10 inches.
