A fireman used a ladder with 56 rungs. The rungs are 14 inches apart and 1.5 inches thick. What is the distance from the bottom of the lowest rung to the top of the highest rung? Check if I solved correctly please. I multiplied 55*14 because there would be 55 spaces between rungs. I multiplied 56*1.5 for the thickness of each rung. I added those for an answer of 854 inches. Is that accurate?
