Step-by-step explanation:
wow, how complicated can one phrase this ...
the point being :
1 ft = 12 in and vice versa (1 in = 1/12 ft)
so, any measurements given in feet but needed in inches need to be multiplied by 12.
and any measurements given in inches but needed in feet need to be divided by 12.
so,
3.5 ft = 3.5×12 = 7/2 × 12 = 7×6 = 42 in
27 in = 27/12 = 9/4 = 2 1/4 or 2.25 ft
1. Change the fraction to a decimal 0.625
2.Line up the decimals
incorrect correct
-0.615 -0.615
0.625 0.62
0.62 0.625
To answer the problem you take 13 and minus -2 to get 15 and divide 15 by 5/4 and you get 12.
Hope I help. :)
