Question
A man ordered a length of rope from a hardware shop over the telephone. However, the order was miswritten by interchanging feet and inches. As a result, the length of rope received was only 30% of the length he had ordered. If the length of the rope ordered is between 6 feet and 12 feet, determine the actual length of the rope ordered.
