Question

What is the total length of nine pieces of chain each measuring 13 yards, 1 foot, 5 inches? Convert the answer to larger units whenever possible.

Answer 1

Answer: The total length of nine pieces of chain is 121.248 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of each chain = 13 yards, 1 foot, 5 inches

As we know that

`1\ inch=(1)/(12)\ foot\\\\5\ inches=(5)/(12)=0.4167\ foot\\\\\text{Total foot = 1+0.4167 =1.4167 foot}\\\\And\\\\1\ yard=3\ foot\\\\1\ foot=(1)/(3)\ yard\\\\1.4167\ foot=(1.4167)/(3)=0.472\ yards\\\\So,\\\\13\ yards+0.472=13.472\ yards`

On Converting it into larger units, we get 13.472 yards

Now, Number of pieces of chain =9

Length of 9 pieces is given by

`13.472* 9=121.248\ yards`

Hence, Nine pieces of chain are 121.248 yards long .
