Answer 1

The total length of the connected string of lights is 24 yards, obtained by adding the length of the two strings: 8 yards and 16 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the total length of the connected string of lights, we need to add the lengths of the individual strings. One string is 8 yards long, and the other string is 16 yards long. The total length of the connected string is:

8 yards + 16 yards = 24 yards

Therefore, the connected string of lights is 24 yards long.
