@StarJ9 You are correct. However, do not post the answer to a question when someone else is explaining the problem, especially when you do not explain the steps. Please view the code of conduct. http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

studygurl14 · Answer

studygurl14 · Answer

That's not multiplying...it is called a mixed fraction.

studygurl14 · Answer

This is explaining @StarJ9 :
There are 12 inches in a foot. So...
$\large 5.5(12) = 66~inches$

anonymous · Answer

You weren't even explaining at first, so keep in mind the code of conduct.

studygurl14 · Answer

Yes I was @StarJ9 . I was first asking @bff_with_the_monsters if she knew how many inches were in a foot before i proceeded. But you butted in and gave the answer with no explanation.

studygurl14 · Answer

I've been on here a lot longer than you @StarJ9 so I know the code of conduct.
