Given:
Distance between 2 floors = 9 feet and 1/2 inch
Let's convert 9 feet and to inches:
1 foot = 12 inches
9 feet = 12 inches * 9 = 108 inches
Now add 108 inches to the 1/2 inches:
108 + 1/2 = 108½ inches
Since 14 risers are to be used in a set of stairs, the height of each riser would be:
[tex]\text{Height of each riser = }\frac{dis\tan ce\text{ between floors}}{\text{Number of risers}}\text{ = }\frac{108.5\text{ }}{14}\text{ = }7.75\text{ inches}[/tex]Therefore, height of each riser = 7.75 inches
