To find out if you will have enough room in your trunk, you need to calculate the total height of the four suitcases.

Each suitcase is given as 14 16 inches high.

First, we need to interpret that measurement. Typically, it might be read as 14 16 inches being written incorrectly. If we take it as 14 inches, then calculate the total height of four suitcases:

Total height = 4 suitcases × 16 inches = 4 × 16 = 64 inches.

If we alternatively interpret it and look for weighting separately:

Assuming "14 16" means:

  • Each suitcase is 14 inches + 16 inches leading to addition (which doesn't seem logical without being a decimal or actual division expressed normally.)

Instead, let's just address an assumed common figure:

If we consider they are actually all 16 inches high, Then total height would be:

Total height = 4 suitcases × 16 inches = 64 inches.

Since the trunk height is 50 inches, you can see, 64 inches > 50 inches, thus indicating there is not enough room.

Among the choices provided:

B: No, the height of all the suitcases is 56 5/6 inches. C: No, the height of all the suitcases is 56 2/3 inches. D: No, the height of all the suitcases is 52 2/3 inches.

Since there is no correct interpretation matching the numbers we have addressed, in fact:

The answer closest resolution (if chairing might have been another error perhaps in context writing).

The answer should thus: B. No, the height should be estimated as being >= 50inches upon should be addressed hence.


If your interpretation of 14 16 inches yields a specific fraction of assignments that can be addressed notably.

WHATS THE CLOSEST ANSWER

To summarize:

Each suitcase is 16 inches tall (assuming "14 16" means 16 inches in height).

For four suitcases:

  • Total height = 4 suitcases × 16 inches = 64 inches.

Since your trunk is only 50 inches high, you will not have enough room.

Now, looking at the provided options:

  • A: Yes, the height of all the suitcases is 48 2/3 inches.
  • B: No, the height of all the suitcases is 56 5/6 inches.
  • C: No, the height of all the suitcases is 56 2/3 inches.
  • D: No, the height of all the suitcases is 52 2/3 inches.

The total (64 inches) is not among the options directly but is higher than all of the provided responses. The closest answer that indicates a no, indicating the suitcases won't fit, would be:

C: No, the height of all the suitcases is 56 2/3 inches.

So, in summary, the correct response closest to your situation is C.
