Hey @linda231,

I can see why you were originally getting an error. The amount of beginning parenthesis you have in the final print line of your code doesn't match the amount of ending parenthesis. You needed two more at the end for the code to compile.

However

Your logic for the program is incorrect. I'm laying this out in a format that should be easier to understand. I would personally change x,y,j,k to variables that make more sense to what they are such as feet1, inches1, feet2, inches2. And that is what I did in my example for easier understanding.

Please review the comments in the code below to understand why I added what I did:

import math
feet1=float(input("Enter the Feet for the first piece of fabric: "))
inches1=float(input("Enter the Inches for the first piece of fabric: "))
feet2=float(input("Enter the Feet for the second piece of fabric: "))
inches2=float(input("Enter the Inches for the second piece of fabric: "))
#Get the initial total amount of feet
initialFeet = feet1 + feet2
#Get the initial total amount of inches
initialInches = inches1 + inches2
#Get the remaining inches which is a modulus of 12 (12 inches in 1 foot)
remainingInches = initialInches % 12
#Get the addiitonal feet to add from the total initial inches
#This total has to be divided by 12 and then have a floor done on it which will remove any decimal values
additionalFeet = math.floor(initialInches / 12)
#The total feet will be the initial feet (feet1 and feet2) plus the additional calculated feet
totalFeet = initialFeet + additionalFeet

print ("Total: Feet: " + str(totalFeet) + " Inches: " + str(remainingInches))
