To find the total length of the 16 washing machines, you will need to multiply the width of each washing machine by the number of washing machines.
First, we need to convert 2 feet 5 inches into a single unit of measurement. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 2 feet can be converted to 24 inches. Therefore, the width of each washing machine is 24 + 5 = 29 inches.
Next, you would multiply the width of each washing machine (29 inches) by the number of washing machines (16):
29 inches × 16 washing machines = 464 inches
So, the total length of the 16 washing machines in inches is 464 inches.
