Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first get rid of the feet and turn everything into inches.
1 foot = 12 inches.
9 * 12 + 5.5 = 113.5
1 * 12 + 10.5 = 22.5
We need a rod that's 113.5 inches long, each section is 22.5 inches.
22.5x = 113.5 Simple division here to get 5.
We now do 22.5 * 5 to get 112.5 A little bit off aren't we? So we can just add 1 to how many poles there will be making it 6.
22.5 * 6 = 135 Now we are over.
We would need 6 poles which add up to 135 inches.
We can now do 135 - 113.5 to get 21.5 inches left which are left.
