8.5 + 2.75 = 11.25 feet

8.5 feet above ground plus 2.75 feet below ground is 11.25 feet of post.

5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

To do this, you may add the 8 + 2 to get 10 feet and then add the fractions.

To add the fractions, you must covert them to a common denominator which would be 4 in this case. Therefore,

2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4

Then add the 1 1/4 to the 10 and you have 11 1/4.
