So, first turn your fractions into decimals. ⅞ = 0.875 which rounded is 0.88. 4/5 = 0.8. Next, put the decimals into the equation to replace the fractions. 0.88 + 4.2 - 0.8. Next solve the problem. So 0.88 + 4.2 = 5.08. Now your equation should look like this 5.08 - 0.8. Then subtract 0.8 from 5.08 which gives you 4.28. So 4.28 is your answer.
Get total lengths by multiplying:
10 x 12.6 = 126
6 x 16.1 = 96.6
Add the total lengths together and divide by 16:
126 + 96.6 = 222.6
222.6 / 16 = 13.9125
Rounded to 2 decimal places = 13.91
answer: 13.91
a.) The height of the closet is 96 inches, and you want to have 4 rows, so you divide the total height 96 by 4
96 ÷ 4 = 24
So each cube organizer can be a height of 24 inches since it divides out evenly
b.) Each shoe box is 4 1/2 inches, because there are 3 boxes that are stacked on top of each other, you can multiply 4 1/2 by 3, or you can do 4 1/2 + 4 1/2 + 4 1/2.
4 1/2 + 4 1/2 + 4 1/2 = 12 3/2 = 13 1/2
The total height of the 3 boxes is 13 1/2
