Answer:

696 39/100 meters

Explanation:

Ben needs to replace two sides of his fence. One side is 367 9/100 meters long, and the other is 329 3/10 meters long. How much fence does Ben need to buy?

Side A = 367 9/100 meters

Side B = 329 3/10 meters

How much fence does Ben need to buy?

Total fence Ben needs to buy = Side A + side B

= 367 9/100 + 329 3/10

= 36709/100 + 3293/10

= (36709+32930) / 100

= 69639/100

= 696 39/100 meters

Ben needs to buy 696 39/100 meters
