Three dressers are placed side by side. One dresser is 4 feet 8 inches wide, another is 5 feet 11 inches wide, and the third is 5 feet 10 inches wide. How wide are they combined?

197 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Three dressers are placed side by side.

One dresser is 4 feet 8 inches wide, means = 4.8 feet

Another is 5 feet 11 inches wide, means = 5.11 feet

And the third is 5 feet 10 inches wide, means = 5.10 feet

Question asked:

How wide are they combined?

Solution:

To calculate combined width of dresser, first of all we will convert it into inches then we will simply add each width of dresser.

1 feet = 12 inches

4 feet = 12 4 = 48 inches + 8 inches = 56 inches

Width of one dresser = 56 inches

Width of another dresser = 12 5 = 60 + 11 = 71 inches

Width of third dresser = 12 5 = 60 + 10 = 70 inches.

combined width of dresser = 56 inches +  71 inches + 70 inches

                                             = 197 inches.

Thus, combined width of dresser are 197 inches.

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
