Hello!

This is just a conceptual problem where you'll be converting units.

If her semitrailer is 3.5m high and the bottom of the bridge (how tall the support beam are) is 11ft 9in high, we'll need to convert them into the same units and then compare both values.

Let's convert from inches to meters.

Since there are 12 inches in a feet, we can convert 11 feet into 132 inches, meaning that the bottom of the bridge is at 141 inches.

In 1 meter, there is around 39.37 inches, so we'll be dividing 141 by 39.37, giving us a number of around 3.5814, meaning that the bottom of the bridge is higher than the height of the semitrailer, and her vehicle will fit under the bridge.

Hope this helps!

When the bases are the same, you can combine the exponents.

x³ [x is where the base is]

For example:

x³ · y² = x³y² You can't simplify this anymore because they have different bases/variables

[when you multiply a variable with an exponent by a variable with an exponent, you add the exponents together] so:

x² · x³ = $x^{2+3}=x^5$
