Answer 1

Solution

Let us first convert feet to inches

1 foot = 12 inches

$\begin{gathered} 1ft=12inch \\ 8ft=x\text{ }inch \\ cross\text{ }multiply \\ x\times1=12\times8 \\ x=96\text{ }inches \end{gathered}$

Distance = 8ft + 11 inches

but 8 ft = 96 inches

Distance = 96 inches + 11 inches

Distance = 107 inches
