SOLUTION:
The length in feet and inches are
\begin{aligned}
115\ \text{m} & = 115\ \bcancel{\text{m}} \times \frac{1\ \text{ft}}{0.3048\ \bcancel{\text{m}}} \\ \\
& =377.3\ \text{feet} \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)\\
\\
115\ \text{m} & = 115\ \bcancel{\text{m}} \times \frac{1\ \bcancel{\text{ft}}}{0.3048\ \bcancel{\text{m}}} \times \frac{12\ \text{inches}}{1\ \bcancel{\text{ft}}} \\ \\
& =4528\ \text{inches} \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)\\
\end{aligned}The width in feet and inches are
\begin{aligned}
85\ \text{m} & = 85\ \bcancel{\text{m}} \times \frac{1\ \text{ft}}{0.3048\ \bcancel{\text{m}}}\\ \\
& =278.9\ \text{ft}\ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)\\
\\
85\ \text{m} & = 85\ \bcancel{\text{m}} \times \frac{1\ \bcancel{\text{ft}}}{0.3048\ \bcancel{\text{m}}} \times \frac{12\ \text{in}}{1\ \bcancel{\text{ft}}}\\ \\
& =3346\ \text{inches} \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)
\end{aligned}
