Three dressers are placed side by side. One dresser is 4 feet 8 inches wide, another is 5 feet 11 inches wide, and the third is 5 feet 10 inches wide. How wide are they combined?

197 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Three dressers are placed side by side.

One dresser is 4 feet 8 inches wide, means = 4.8 feet

Another is 5 feet 11 inches wide, means = 5.11 feet

And the third is 5 feet 10 inches wide, means = 5.10 feet

Question asked:

How wide are they combined?

Solution:

To calculate combined width of dresser, first of all we will convert it into inches then we will simply add each width of dresser.

1 feet = 12 inches

4 feet = 12 4 = 48 inches + 8 inches = 56 inches

Width of one dresser = 56 inches

Width of another dresser = 12 5 = 60 + 11 = 71 inches

Width of third dresser = 12 5 = 60 + 10 = 70 inches.

combined width of dresser = 56 inches +  71 inches + 70 inches

                                             = 197 inches.

Thus, combined width of dresser are 197 inches.
