Question

Lee needed to make drapes the length from the floor to the top of the window. The wall beneath the window had the height of 2 2/3 feet and the height of just the window measured 2 3/4 feet. How long do the drapes have to be?

Answer 1

$We\ should\ sum \ those \ two\ measurements\ to \ obtain\ length\ of\ drapes\\\\ 2 \frac{2}{3}+2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{8}{3}+\frac{11}{4}=\frac{24}{12}+\frac{33}{12}=\frac{57}{12} =4,75feet$
