Answer:
So, the tree is approximately 9 feet and 10 inches tall.
Explanation:
To convert the height of the tree from inches to feet and inches, you can use the fact that there are 12 inches in 1 foot.
First, divide the total number of inches (118) by 12 to find out how many feet are in 118 inches:
118 inches / 12 inches per foot = 9.8333 feet (approximately)
Now, since you have 9.8333 feet, you can express the height in feet and inches.
The tree is approximately 9 feet (whole feet) and 0.8333 feet (decimal portion of a foot).
To convert the decimal portion of a foot to inches, multiply it by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot):
0.8333 feet * 12 inches per foot = 10 inches (approximately)
So, the tree is approximately 9 feet and 10 inches tall.
