Melanie connected a brown garden hose, a green garden hose, and a black garden hose to make one long hose. The brown hose is 10.75 feet long, the green hose is 16.4 feet long, and the black hose is 8.5 feet long.What is the farthest distance the one long hose can reach? If Melanie's vegetable garden is 33 feet away from where the hose is connected to water, will Melanie be able to water her vegetables? NOTE: There is a check answer button in the bottom right corner.

To determine the farthest distance the combined hose can reach, we need to add the lengths of the three hoses together:

  1. Brown hose: 10.75 feet
  2. Green hose: 16.4 feet
  3. Black hose: 8.5 feet

Now, let's add them:

10.75 + 16.4 + 8.5 = 35.65 feet

So, the combined length of the hoses is 35.65 feet.

Now, let's compare this with the distance to the vegetable garden, which is 33 feet away.

Since 35.65 feet (the length of the combined hose) is greater than 33 feet (the distance to the garden), Melanie will indeed be able to water her vegetables.
