In a game of basketball the net is mounted five feet above the floor plus half it's own height. Therefore how high is the net mounted above the floor?
There have been riddles and what I would call trick questions in this quiz as well as genuine maths ones. so any help please would be appreciated
Thanks in advance.
Standard basketball net is 10 ft high
