Cynthia wants floor-to-ceiling curtains made with an additional 5" of material so it will pool at the bottom. If her room is 8 feet tall, how long will the curtains need to be? Let's be accurate as possible.
There are 12 inches in 1 foot and her room height is 8 feet so that's 12 * 8 = 96 inches tall. She wants an additional 5 inches of material added so the 96 inch long curtains will pool so she needs 5 + 96 = 101 inch long curtains.
The answer: 101.
