Answer:

54 ft

Step-by-step explanation:


1 ft               x ft

------------- = ------------

1/4 in           13 1/2 inch


using cross products

1 * 13 1/2 = 1/4 * x

13 1/2 = 1/4 x

times by 4 on each side

4* 13  1/2 = x

change 13 1/2 to and improper fraction ( 13 1/2 = (2*13 +1)/2 = 27/2)

4 * 27/2 =x

54 =x
