Question

Racheal has a board that is 1 7/12 feet long and another board that is 2 11/12 feet long. Write an expression Racheal can use to find the total length I feet of the two boards

Answer 1

The expression to find the total length of the two boards is
`l=1(7)/(12)+2(11)/(12)`.

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the one board =
`1(7)/(12)\ ft`

Length of the other board =
`2(11)/(12)\ ft`

We need to write an expression to find the total length of the two boards.

Solution:

Let the total length of two boards be 'l'.

So we can say that;

the total length of the two boards is equal to sum of Length of the one board and Length of the other board.

framing in equation form we get;

`l=1(7)/(12)+2(11)/(12)`

Hence The expression to find the total length of the two boards is
`l=1(7)/(12)+2(11)/(12)`.
