The stack is 5 feet, 3 inches tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this:
1. There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so, divide 63 inches by 12 feet to convert it to feet.
[tex]\frac{63}{12} = 5r3[/tex]
2. The ¨r¨ stands for ¨remainder¨. The remainder will be in inches, so, the remainder is 3 inches.
3. Put the feet and inches together, and you get ¨5 feet, 3 inches.¨
(Note: in decimal form, the answer will be 5.25 inches).
(Note: in fraction form, the answer will be [tex]5\frac{1}{4}[/tex] feet).
