Question

What is 34' 11" + 93' 2" reduced to its simplest form?

Answer 1

The numbers to add are:

$34^{\prime}11^{\prime\prime}+93^{\prime}2^{\prime\prime}$

Firstly, we add the feet part of the numbers:

$34^{\prime}+93^{\prime}=157^{\prime}$

Next, we add the inches part of the numbers:

$11^{\prime}^{\prime}+2^{\prime}^{\prime}=13^{\prime}^{\prime}$

Following the conversion unit:

$12^{\prime}^{\prime}=1^{\prime}$

Therefore, we have that:

$13^{\prime}^{\prime}=1^{\prime}1^{\prime}^{\prime}$

Adding this to the value calculated from the feet part, we have:

$157^{\prime}+1^{\prime}1^{\prime\prime}=158^{\prime}1^{\prime\prime}$

Therefore, the answer is:

$34^{\prime}11^{\prime\prime}+93^{\prime}2^{\prime\prime}=158^{\prime}1^{\prime\prime}$
