Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf 14\ ft}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Yard sticks = 4

12-inch rulers = 2

All are placed end to end.

Converting yard and inch to feet:

4 yardsticks into feets:

We know that,

1 yard = 3 feet

4 yards = 3 × 4 feet

4 yards = 12 feet

2 12-inch ruler into feet:

We know that:

1 inch = 0.083 feet

24 inch = 0.083 × 24 feet

24 inch = 2 feet

The maximum number of feet she can measure exactly:

= 4 yardsticks + 2 12-inch rules

= 12 ft + 2 ft

= 14 ft
