What does 5 yards 2 feet 3 inches plus 2 yards 2 feet 9 inches equal?

5 yards, 2 feet, 3 inches +

2 yards, 2 feet, 9 inches =

7 yards, 4 feet, 12 inches = 8 yards, 2 feet

To find the sum of the two measurements, we need to add up the yards, feet, and inches separately. Let's start with the yards:

5 yards + 2 yards = 7 yards

Next, let's add the feet:

2 feet + 2 feet = 4 feet

Lastly, let's add the inches:

3 inches + 9 inches = 12 inches

Now, we have 7 yards, 4 feet, and 12 inches. However, since there are 12 inches in a foot, we need to convert the excess inches to feet. We do this by dividing the 12 inches by 12:

12 inches รท 12 = 1 foot

Now, we can add the converted inches to the existing feet:

4 feet + 1 foot = 5 feet

Therefore, the final sum is 7 yards, 5 feet, and 0 inches.
