Question

A ladder is 110 inches tall. How tall is it in feet and inches?

Answer 1

So 110 inches is 9 feet + 2 inches

Explanation:

I foot is the same length as 12 inches

So we need to see how many lots of 12 inches we can fit into 110 inches

Multiply 12 by 10 and you get 120. This is too big so lets check for `9xx12`

If `10xx12=120` then `9xx12 = 120-12=108`

this will 'fit' into 110 but with a remainder of 2 inches.

So 110 inches is 9 feet + 2 inches
