Question 92846: add 1 1/2 inches and 26.2 centimeters, and express the result in feet.
I have multiplied (.39)(26.2)=10.22 inches
add 10.22+1.5 =11.72
This doesnt even make a foot? What did I do wrong? Please help. I really want to understand what to do and if I did any part of this correctly.
Thank you so much in advance!

1 CENTERMETER =.39 INCHES SO MULTIPLYING 26.2*.39=10.218 INCHES .
NOW ADD 1.5+10.218=11.716 INCHES.
YOU ARE CORRECT YOU DON'T HAVE A FOOT WHICH IS 12 INCHES. THUS YOU HAVE
11.716/12=.9765 FEET. WHICH IS YOU ANSWER IN FEET.
