An adult horse is about 66 inches tall.
The giant table's top is about 3 1/2 times that height.
About how high is the tabletop in feet and inches?
:
Multiply 66 * 3.5 = 231 inches
Find the no. of feet, divide by 12
231%2F12 = 19.25 ft
Change .25 ft to inches
.25 * 12 = 3 inches
:
The height of the table top: 19 ft, 3 inches
