Answer:

The answer is 19 1/2, this is the only way I know how to write fractions on Mac, sorry

Explanation:

I think you want the fraction answer

To get the answer multiply 13 by the length of each piece of wood(1 1/2), you change 13 to 13/1 and multiply it by 1 1/2.

13/1 x 1 /12=19 1/2

Hope this helps, I took the test

Answer: He needs 1456 feet of wood to complete his home project.

Explanation:

1. You know that he needs 13 pieces of wood to complete his home project. Each one of the pieces is 112 feet long.

2. Therefore, to calculate the quantity of wood he need to complete the project (which you can call
x), you need to multiply 13 pieces by the the lenght of each one of them (12 feet), as you can see below:


x=(13)(112feet)\\x=1456feet

3. Therefore, he needs 1456 feet of wood.
