An office room is 12 ft by 10 ft with a door that is 30 inches wide. how many feet of baseboard are needed to go around the room ?

you so much : )

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.
The length of baseboard needed is AB + BC + CD + DE + FE.
Note that 30 in = 30/12 ft = 2.5 ft.

Because of the door opening,
AB + EF = 12 - 2.5 = 9.5 ft
Also,
BC = DE = 10 ft
CD = 12 ft.

The amount of baseboard needed is
AB + BC + CD + DE + FE
= (AB + EF) + BC + CD + DE
= 9.5 + 10 + 12 + 10
= 41.5 ft

41.5 feet of baseboard.

59/96 is the ratio hope this not 100% sure though : /
