Answer:
63 Lights
Step-by-step explanation:
First you can convert the feet to inches:
The length of decorative lights is 264 inches
You can then subtract 16 from 264
264 - 16 = 248
248/4 = 62
Adding one extra light at the end of the string of decorative lights you can get 63 lights on the string
Fractional index means "xth root of". Negative index means a fraction. So together, what it really means is:
