Answer 1

Answer: 5 feet 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

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 2

Answer:

The length of the drapes have to be $5\frac{5}{12}\ ft$            

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 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 $2\frac{2}{3}$ feet and the height of just the window measured $2\frac{3}{4}$ feet.

To find : How long do the Drapes have to be?

Solution :

The height of the wall beneath the window is $2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\ ft$

The height of the window is $2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}\ ft$

The total height from the floor to the top of the window is

$H=\frac{8}{3}+\frac{11}{4}$

$H=\frac{32+33}{12}$

$H=\frac{65}{12}$

$H=5\frac{5}{12}\ ft$

Therefore, The length of the drapes have to be $5\frac{5}{12}\ ft$
