Let's determine the height of a tree that measures 109 inches in terms of feet and inches:
1. Understand the Conversion: First, we need to know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.
2. Calculate the Number of Full Feet: We can find how many full feet are in 109 inches by dividing 109 by 12.
[tex]\[
109 \div 12 = 9 \text{ feet (with some inches left over)}
\][/tex]
3. Find the Remaining Inches: After converting part of the height to feet, we need to find out how many inches are left. To accomplish this, we take the remainder of dividing 109 by 12.
[tex]\[
109 \mod 12 = 1 \text{ inch}
\][/tex]
So, the height of the tree is 9 feet and 1 inch.
