Question

i just donk know how to do this problem what is one half of 23 feet 11 9/16 inchs i know the answer just know how to get it its 11' 11 25/32

Answer 1

First convert entire amount to inches - 23'x12+11 9/16" = 287 9/16". Now divide this by two - 143 1/2" + 9/32" this yields 143 25/32 inches. Converting back to feet: 143/12' + 25/32" yields 11' 11" + 25/32"

Answer 2

23 feet 11 9/16 inchs
= 23 * 12 + 11 + 9/16 (because 1 feet = 12 inches so multiply 23 with 12 so that all the units become in inches now)

= 276 + 11 + 9/16
= 287 + 9/16
=286 + 1 + 9/16
half each of them that means multiply each with 1/2
= 286*1/2 + 1*1/2 + 9/16*1/2
=143 + 1/2 + 9/32
= 132 + 11 + 1/2 + 9/32
=132 + 11 + 1/2 * 16/16 + 9/32
= 132 + 11 + 16/32 + 9/32
= 132 + 11 + 25/32
= 11 Ft + 11 Inches + 25/32 Inches ( 132 Inches divided 12 gives 11 Ft)
= 11 Ft 11 25/32 inches is the answer
