Question #e7a53

Answer 1

`11` inches

Explanation:

`1` foot is defined as being equal to `12` inches.

So `3` `"ft"` `7` `"in."` is equal to `12 times 3 + 7 = 36 + 7 = 43` inches.

Now, `43` `"inches" div 4 = 10.75` `"inches"`

In this case, the numbers after the decimal place are above `5`.

So we round up:

`43` `"inches" div 4 approx 11` `"inches"`

Answer 2

The answer is `11` inches.

Explanation:

We first convert the length into inches.

One foot is `12` inches, so `3` feet will be:

`3xx12=36` inches.

Since the total length is `3` ft `7` in, the full length in inches is:

`36+7=43`

Now we divide this length by `4`.

`43-:4=10.75`

When the number after the decimal is anything from `5` to `9`, we round up the number before the decimal by `1`.

Hence `10.75 ~~11`

The answer is `11` inches.
