Question

A piece of steel pipe 12.5 feet long weighs 158 pounds. How much does a piece of the same steel pipe 18.75 feet long weigh?

Answer 1

That new length would weight 237lbs

Explanation:

To find this, we first need to find the weight per foot of the pipe. We can do this by taking the total weight and dividing by length.

158lbs/12.5ft = 12.64 pounds per feet.

Now we can multiply the rate by the new length.

12.64 pounds per feet * 18.75ft = 237lbs
