Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Interpret the sign

The sign shows "12'-6" which represents a height - measurement. The symbol ' stands for feet and " stands for inches.

Step2: Convert to a single - unit (inches)

1 foot = 12 inches. So 12 feet is 12×12 = 144 inches. Then add the 6 inches. 144+6 = 150 inches.

Answer:

12 feet 6 inches or 150 inches
