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?

2 2/3 + 2 3/4 is equal to 5 5/12 so the drapes will be 5 5/12 feet long (or 5 feet 5 inches)

Answer: [tex]5\frac{5}{12}\ feet[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height of the wall beneath the window = [tex]2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\ feet[/tex]

The height of the window =[tex]2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}\ feet[/tex]

Now, the total height from the floor to the top of the window=[tex]\frac{8}{3}+\frac{11}{4}=\frac{32+33}{12}=\frac{65}{12}=5\frac{5}{12}\ feet[/tex]

Hence, the length of the drapes have to be [tex]5\frac{5}{12}\ feet[/tex].
