• 11 Feet 5-1/4 Inches
• 18.25 Inches
Then subtract 2-1/8 Inches:

o o 0.
6 f 2 i 1 / 2 +
6 PIES 2-1/2 PULG
1 1 f 5 i 1 / 4 +
17 PIES 7-3/4 PULG
1 8 • 2 5 i = 19 PIES 2 PULG
– 2 i 1 / 8 = 18 PIES 11-7/8 PULG
Multiplying Dimensions
What is the perimeter of a room with three
walls which measure 15 Feet 3-3/4 Inches
each?
KEYSTROKE DISPLAY
3 x 1 5 f 3 i 3 / 4 =
45 PIES 11-1/4 PULG
Multiply 5 Feet 3 Inches by 11 Feet 6-1/2
Inches:
KEYSTROKE DISPLAY
5 f 3 i x 1 1 f
6 i 1 / 2 = 60.59375 PIES CUAD
