Question

a part you are making requires three pieces of wire wit the followings lengths 2/17cm 5/17cm 8/17cm what is the total amount of wire for used the part

Answer 1

To find the total length of the wire needed, you'll need to add the three lengths together.

The lengths of the wires are:
- \( \frac{2}{17} \) cm
- \( \frac{5}{17} \) cm
- \( \frac{8}{17} \) cm

Now, add these fractions:

\[
\frac{2}{17} + \frac{5}{17} + \frac{8}{17} = \frac{2 + 5 + 8}{17} = \frac{15}{17} \text{ cm}
\]

Thus, the total amount of wire used for the part is \( \frac{15}{17} \) cm.
