To determine how many boxes Betty can stack, we need to find out how many boxes can fit within the given space.
First, let's convert the height of the boxes to feet. We know that there are 12 inches in a foot, so 13 3/4 inches can be converted to feet by dividing it by 12.
13 3/4 inches = (13 + (3/4)) / 12 feet = 13.75 / 12 feet = 1.14583 feet (approximately).
Now, to find out how many boxes Betty can stack, we divide the total available height (16 feet) by the height of each box (1.14583 feet).
16 feet / 1.14583 feet = 13.96 boxes (approximately).
Since we can't have fractional boxes, Betty can stack a maximum of 13 boxes within the given space.
