Question

make one long hose. The brown hose is 10.75 feet long, the green hose is 19.4 feet long,
and the black hose is 7.5 feet long.
What is the farthest distance the one long hose can reach? brown hose is (37.65 ft, 36.84 ft, 20.65 ft, 26.65 ft) If Melanie's vegetable garden is 30 feet away from where the hose is connected to water,
will Melanie be able to water her vegetables? (Yes, No, Not enough information provided)

Answer 1

To find the total length of the combined hoses, we can add the lengths of the brown, green, and black hoses:

• Brown hose: 10.75 feet
• Green hose: 19.4 feet
• Black hose: 7.5 feet

Now, let's add these lengths together:

\[ 10.75 + 19.4 + 7.5 = 37.65 \text{ feet} \]

The total length of the long hose is 37.65 feet.

Next, we check if this length is sufficient to reach the vegetable garden, which is 30 feet away:

Since 37.65 feet (total length of the hose) is greater than 30 feet (distance to the garden), Melanie will be able to water her vegetables.

Answer: Yes
