Brad has two lengths of copper pipe to fit together. one has a length of 2 5/12 feet and the other has a length of 3 7/12 feet. How many feet of pipe does he have?

Respuesta :

6 cuz  7+5 =12 so 12/12 =1 and 3+2=5 so then 5+1= 6 ( its kinda hard to explain )

Answer:

6 feet of pipe does he have

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one length be A and other length be B

As per the statement:

Brad has two lengths of copper pipe to fit together. one has a length of 2 5/12 feet and the other has a length of 3 7/12 feet.

⇒A  = [tex]2\frac{5}{12} = \frac{29}{12}[/tex] and

[tex]B = 3\frac{7}{12} = \frac{43}{12}[/tex]

We have to find how many feet of pipe does he have.

Total length of pipe does he have = A+B

⇒[tex]\text{Total length of Pipe} = \frac{29}{12}+\frac{43}{12} = \frac{72}{12} = 6[/tex] feet.

Therefore, 6 feet of pipe does he have
