thers a problem about a lamp post and a man standing under it and it asks how much taller the lamp post is
the lamp is like 14 ft and 6 inches
and the guy is like 5 feet 9 inches..
instead of directly subtracting they convert 14 ft and 6 inches into 13 feet and 18 inches..
i have no idea why they are converting it to the same units like what is the point I'm confused. this may sound dumb but if anyone has any idea what the poiint of that is and how they are even converting this plz tell me its pissing me off
