Question

Lee needed to make drapes the length from the floor to the top of the window. The wall beneath the window had the height of 2 2/3 feet and the height of just the window measured 2 3/4 feet. How long do the drapes have to be?

Answer 1

Since drapes have to be covered all over the window and the beneath of the window, both lengths have to be added.

(2 2/3) + ( 2 3/4) 
(8/3) + (11/4)
(32+33)/12
65/12
5 5/12
