In an internet cafe, the boss is having new counters custom-made. he wants to put 3 PCs on each counter with 3 feet between the PCs and 2 feet on each end. The PCs measure 18 inches wide and 24 inches high. What length of counters should the internet cafe have made?

Answer 11

Ok the the distance between each pc should be 3 feet, and there are 3 pcs, so...
9ft, and he wants 2 feet on each end so 4ft, and each computer is 18 inches wide and there are 3 computers (18*3)= 54 inches which converts to 4 ft 6 inches, now you just add up the feet to get the lenght of the table, 9ft+4ft+4ft+6 inches which is 17 feet and 6 inches
