1. The problem asks to convert a ladder height of 69 inches into feet and inches. 2. We use the conversion rule: 1 foot = 12 inches. 3. To find the number of feet, divide the total inches by 12: $$\text{feet} = \left\lfloor \frac{69}{12} \right\rfloor = 5$$. 4. To find the remaining inches, calculate the remainder: $$\text{inches} = 69 \mod 12 = 9$$. 5. Therefore, 69 inches is equal to 5 feet and 9 inches. 6. In summary, the ladder is 5 feet 9 inches tall.
