Question

Stefan's sculpture is 7/12 foot tall. He attaches it to a base that is 1/3 foot tall. How tall, in feet, is the sculpture with the base?

Answer 1

`(11)/(12)\ ft`

Explanation:

we know that

To find how tall, in feet, is the sculpture with the base, sum the height of the sculpture plus the height of the base

so

`(7)/(12)+(1)/(3)`

rewrite
`(1)/(3)` as
`(4)/(12)`

substitute

`(7)/(12)+(4)/(12)=(11)/(12)\ ft`
