  8. This problem is a little different from the rest. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we cannot simply add the heights together.
    • For example, adding 5′ 0″, 4′ 9″, and 3′ 6″ together does NOT equal 13.5′ or 13.5″ or 13′ 5″.
    • When adding height, you need to add feet and inches separately. In this case, the average height is 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 foot and 0 + 9 + 6 = 15 inches.
    • There are three heights so your averages are 12 ÷ 3 = 4 foot and 15 ÷ 3 = 5 inches.
    • The average height is 4′ 5″.
    • If you simply want to find the sum of the heights, then do the following:
    • You know that there are 12 inches in 1 foot. 15 inches is equal to 12 inches + 3 inches. Therefore, 15 inches = 1 foot + 3 inches.
    • The sum of all heights is: 5′ 0″ + 4′ 9″ + 3′ 6″ = 13′ 3″
