Answer 2

Daniel will need
`19(1)/(2)` feet wood to complete his home project.

Explanation:

We are told that Daniel needs 13 pieces of wood, each
`1(1)/(2)` feet long, to complete his home project.

To find total amount of wood needed we will multiply number of wood pieces by length of each wooden piece.

First of all we will convert our mixed fraction to improper fraction as:
`1 (1)/(2) =(3)/(2)`

Now let us multiply our values.

`13*(3)/(2) =(39)/(2)`

Now we will convert this improper fraction to mixed fraction to find our final answer.

`(39)/(2)=19(1)/(2)`

Therefore, Daniel needs
`19(1)/(2)` feet wood to complete his home project.
