Question

jose needs 20 1/3 feet of string for a project. he has lengths of string that are 9 1/2 feet, 3 1/4 feet and 4.5 feet long does jose have enough string for his project?

Answer 1

Answer: To check if Jose has enough string for his project, we need to add the lengths of the strings he has and compare it to the amount of string he needs for the project.

The length of the first string is 9 1/2 feet, the second string is 3 1/4 feet and the third string is 4.5 feet.

To add these lengths we need to convert them all to the same unit of measurement.

3 1/4 feet can be converted to 3.25 feet

So the total length of the strings Jose has is 9 1/2 + 3.25 + 4.5 = 17.25 feet

Jose needs 20 1/3 feet of string for his project, and he has 17.25 feet of string.

So he doesn't have enough string for his project.
