Answer:

9 feet 1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to get the answer we want to add the heights of the boxes.

2 feet, 4 inches + 2 feet 11 inches = 4 feet 15 inches. 4 feet 15 inches + 3 feet 10 inches = 7 feet and 25 inches. 25 inches is equal to 2 feet and 1 inch, so we end up with 9 feet and 1 inch as our answer.
