Question

Sections of prefabricated fencing are each 4 1/3 feet long. how long are 6 1/2 sections placed end to end

Answer 1

Each section is 4 1/3 feet long.
6 1/2 section will be 4 1/3 x 6 1/2 = 13/3 x 13/2 = 169/6 = 28 1/6 feet

Thus, 6 1/2 sections will be 28 1/6 feet long.

Answer 2

we know that

`4(1)/(3)= ((4*3+1))/(3) =(13)/(3)`

`6(1)/(2)= ((6*2+1))/(2)=(13)/(2)`

To find how long are
`6(1)/(2)` sections placed end to end

Multiply the number of sections by the length of one section

so

`(13)/(2) *(13)/(3) =(169)/(6)\ ft`

`(169)/(6)\ ft =28(1)/(6)\ ft`

therefore

the answer is

`28(1)/(6) \ ft`
