To build a door frame, Anthony needs 2 pieces of lumber that each measure 98 1
4
inches
and one piece of lumber that measures 39 1
2 inches. What is the total length of lumber
that Anthony needs to build the frame?
To find the total length of lumber that Anthony needs, we need to add together the lengths of the three pieces of lumber.
The first two pieces of lumber measure 98 1/4 inches each. To find the total length, we add these two measurements together:
98 1/4 inches + 98 1/4 inches = 196 1/2 inches
The third piece of lumber measures 39 1/2 inches.
Now, we can find the total length by adding the three lengths together:
196 1/2 inches + 39 1/2 inches = 236 inches
Therefore, Anthony needs a total length of 236 inches of lumber to build the door frame.
must be because people who post and don't check to see just what the heck they wound up with make our job so hard.
It's not my job to figure out what you mean.
It's your job to say it so clearly you cannot be misunderstood.
learn to type fractions, yeah?
2 * 98 1/4 + 39 1/2 = ___
