We have to convert feet to inches.
OpenStudy (-studywith-):
So there are 12 inches in one foot, 5 x 12 = 60
OpenStudy (scott208):
ok
OpenStudy (-studywith-):
Now divide, 60/8 = ?
OpenStudy (-studywith-):
7.5

okay
OpenStudy (-studywith-):
So convert 2 feet (the actual height) to inches
OpenStudy (-studywith-):
So 2 x 12 = 24
OpenStudy (scott208):
24 inches
OpenStudy (-studywith-):
24 x 7.5 = ??
