To wire the entire new addition, max and fred have 6 rolls of wire with 9 2/5 feet per roll and 7 rolls of wire with 16 3/4 feet per roll. how many feet of additional wire do they need in order to complete the job if it requires 200 feet of wire? write the result as a mixed number.

Respuesta :

Additional wire of  26 7/20 feet, in the form of a mixed fraction, is required to complete the job.

What is the length of additional wire required, in the form of a mixed fraction?

A mixed fraction is represented by both its quotient and remainder. An amalgam of a whole number and a legal fraction is a mixed fraction.

Max has total 6*9 2/5feet of wire, that is, 282/5 feet of wire.

Fred has total 7*16 3/4 feet of wire, that is, 469/4 feet of wire.

The total amount of wire required=200 feet

The total amount of wire available=282/5+469/4

                                                         =3473/20

An additional amount of wire is required=200-3473/20

                                                                   =(4000-3473)/20

                                                                   =527/20

Thus, the additional amount of wire required is expressed as a mixed fraction= 26 7/20 of feet.
