Answer 1

six pipes are laid end to end to form a row. Each pipe is 9 1/3 inches long. how long is the row of pipes, in feet?

Answer:

4.67 feet or 4 feet 8 inches or
`4(2)/(3)`feet

Explanation:

Let x be the length of the row pipes.

Given:

Number of pipes = 6

Each pipe has length
`9(1)/(3)` inches. and six pipes are laid end to end to form a row.

The total length of the row is equal to length of the 6 pipes.

So, total length of row = Number of pipes
`*` Length of the pipe

`x=(28)/(3)* 6`

`x=28* 2`

`x=56` inches

convert inch into feet.

`x=(56)/(12)`

`x=4.67 feet`

Therefore, The length of the row is 4.67 feet or 4 feet 8 inches or
`4(2)/(3)`feet .
