bamboo has grown 5 ft 12 in. How tall is the bamboo now?

Answer 1

Answer:

16 feet and 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how tall the bamboo is now, first add the number of feet together:

10 + 5

= 15

Then, add the inches:

7 + 12

= 19

This can be converted to 1 foot and 7 inches.

Then, add 15 to this:

= 16 feet and 7 inches

So, the bamboo is now 16 feet and 7 inches tall
