The stage lights for the concert
were suspended on a metal rack
constructed in three sections. The
bottom section was 12 feet tall. The
section above that was 3 yards tall.
The top section was only 35 inches
tall. How tall was the entire metal
rack in feet and inches?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

  23 ft 11 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The total height of the rack is the sum of the heights of the three sections. Units need to be converted to feet and inches.

__

Height = bottom section height + middle section height + top section height

Height = 12 ft + (3 yd)(3 ft/yd) + (35 in)/(12 in/ft)

  = 12 ft + 9 ft + 2 ft 11 in

  = 23 ft 11 in

The entire metal rack was 23 feet and 11 inches tall.
