Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 27 (Arithmetic Reasoning): 7 3/4 feet
Method
Give both measurements the same denominator: 12 1/2 becomes 12 2/4. Since 2/4 is smaller than 3/4, borrow one whole foot to make 11 6/4, then subtract 4 3/4 to get 7 3/4 feet.
