Question
The ceiling is 8 feet 5 inches from the floor. Lucas can reach up to 7 feet 11 inches when he raises his arm. If he stands on a foot stool that is 7 inches tall, can he reach the ceiling?

- If stool would be 10 inches tall only then it is possible
- He can reach
- Can’t be determine
Hint:
1 feet=12 inches
The correct answer is: He can reach
7 feet 11 inches + 7 inches
7 feet 18 inches
Or 8 feet 6 inches (Since, 1 feet = 12 inches)
Here, 8 feet 6 inches > 8 feet 5 inches
So, he can reach to the ceiling.
Remember the conversion formula of feet to inches.
