Answer:
18 15/16 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
what is the request here ?
to do the additions and bring all to one summary result of ft ?
I base my answer on this assumption.
10 1/16 = 161/16
8 3/8 = 67/8
1/2 = 1/2
note let's bring everything to 16th, so that we can actually add them.
161/16
67/8 = 134/16
1/2 = 8/16
161/16 + 134/16 + 8/16 = 303/16 = 18 15/16
cross check :
add all whole numbers first, and then add the remaining fractions too (need to bring them to 16th too).
10 + 8 = 18
1/16 + 3/8 + 1/2 = 1/16 + 6/16 + 8/16 = 15/16
together, 18 15/16
yeah, it is the same.
