Sagot :

Certainly!

To determine how many feet of paper Kara cut, we need to convert the given measurement from inches to feet. The conversion relationship between inches and feet is:

[tex]\[ 1 \text{ foot} = 12 \text{ inches} \][/tex]

Given that Kara cut 108 inches of paper, we use the conversion factor to find out how many feet this is:

[tex]\[ \text{Feet cut} = \frac{\text{Inches cut}}{12} \][/tex]

Substitute the number of inches Kara cut into the equation:

[tex]\[ \text{Feet cut} = \frac{108 \text{ inches}}{12} \][/tex]

Perform the division:

[tex]\[ \text{Feet cut} = 9 \text{ feet} \][/tex]

Therefore, Kara cut 9 feet of paper.

Next, we compare this result with the given choices:
- [tex]$08 \text{ ft}$[/tex]
- [tex]$9 \text{ ft}$[/tex]
- [tex]$08 \frac{1}{2} \text{ ft}$[/tex]
- [tex]$NH$[/tex] (Not Here)

By comparing these options, it's clear that the choice that matches our calculation is:

[tex]\[ 9 \text{ feet} \][/tex]

To sum it up, Kara cut 9 feet of paper.
