Answer 1

To divide 24 feet 10 inches by 2, we first need to convert the measurements into inches, perform the division, and then convert back into feet and inches.

1. Convert 24 feet 10 inches into inches:
- 24 feet = 24 × 12 inches = 288 inches
- Therefore, 24 feet 10 inches = 288 inches + 10 inches = 298 inches

2. Divide 298 inches by 2:
- 298 inches ÷ 2 = 149 inches

3. Convert 149 inches back into feet and inches:
- To find the feet: 149 inches ÷ 12 = 12 feet (since 12 × 12 = 144 inches)
- The remainder will be the inches: 149 inches - 144 inches = 5 inches

So, 24 feet 10 inches divided by 2 is:
**12 feet 5 inches**.
