A storage closet holds 12 boxes stacked upon each other with each box being 10 inches high how many feet are between the top of the third box and the bottom of the 10th box?

Answer 1

To find the total height between the top of the third box and the bottom of the 10th box, we first need to calculate the height of 3 boxes and 10 boxes.

Height of 3 boxes: 10 inches/box * 3 boxes = 30 inches
Height of 10 boxes: 10 inches/box * 10 boxes = 100 inches

Now, we convert these measurements into feet by dividing by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot).

Height of 3 boxes: 30 inches / 12 = 2.5 feet
Height of 10 boxes: 100 inches / 12 = 8.33 feet

Therefore, the total height between the top of the third box and the bottom of the 10th box is approximately 8.33 feet - 2.5 feet = 5.83 feet.
