Question

The length of AB is 7 1/8 units. The length of BC is 5 2/7 units. Find AC.

Answer 1

just add your two numbers (7 1/8) and 5 2/7 to get your answer

Answer 2

The calcuuated length of the segment AC is
`12 (23)/(56) \text{ units}`

How to determine the length of the segment AC

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

`\text{AB} = 7 \frac18 \text{units}`

`\text{BC} = 5 \frac27 \text{units}`

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

AC = AB + BC

Substitute the known values into the equation

`\text{Length AC} = 7\frac18 \text{ units} + 5 \frac27 \text{ units}`

Evaluate the sum of the integers

`\text{Length AC} = 12 + \frac18 \text{ units} + \frac27 \text{ units}`

Take the LCM and add the fractions

This gives

`\text{Length AC} = 12 (23)/(56) \text{ units}`

Hence, the length of the segment AC is
`12 (23)/(56) \text{ units}`
