Answer:
No, Tyesha doesn't have enough wood for her project.
Explanation:
Let the length of woods she has be a, b, and c respectively.
Given the following data;
Length of wood required = 17¾ ft.
Length, a = 7½ ft.
Length, b = 5.25 = 5¼ ft.
Length, c = 6¾ ft.
To determine if she has enough wood;
Length of wood required should be equal to the length of wood available.
Therefore, we would sum up all the length of woods she has.
Total length = a + b + c
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Total length = 7½ + 5¼ + 6¾
We would add the whole numbers together.
Total length = (7 + 5 + 6) + (½ + ¼ + ¾)
Note: ¼ + ¾ = 4/4 = 1
Total length = 18 + (½ + 1)
Total length = 18 + ½ + 1
Total length = 19½ ft
19½ ≠ 17¾
Therefore, the length of wood Tyesha has isn't equal to the length of wood required.
