Answer: 3.75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given the measure of the length of a window. Generally the length is given in the International System of units format (meters); however, in this case we are given the length in feet and inches:

[tex]3 ft+9 in[/tex]

Now, before converting this whole measure to feet, we have to know that [tex]1 ft=12 in[/tex], then we can perform the conversion:

[tex]9 in \frac{1 ft}{12 in}=0.75 ft[/tex]

This means [tex]9 in=0.75 ft[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]3 ft+9 i=3 ft+0.75 ft=3.75 ft[/tex] This is the measure of the length of the window in feet.
