six pipes are laid end to end to form a row. Each pipe is 9 1/3 inches long. how long is the row of pipes, in feet?
Answer:
4.67 feet or 4 feet 8 inches or [tex]4\frac{2}{3}[/tex]feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the length of the row pipes.
Given:
Number of pipes = 6
Each pipe has length [tex]9\frac{1}{3}[/tex] inches. and six pipes are laid end to end to form a row.
The total length of the row is equal to length of the 6 pipes.
So, total length of row = Number of pipes [tex]\times[/tex] Length of the pipe
[tex]x=\frac{28}{3}\times 6[/tex]
[tex]x=28\times 2[/tex]
[tex]x=56[/tex] inches
convert inch into feet.
[tex]x=\frac{56}{12}[/tex]
[tex]x=4.67 feet[/tex]
Therefore, The length of the row is 4.67 feet or 4 feet 8 inches or [tex]4\frac{2}{3}[/tex]feet .
