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}
