Quentin joins together to lengths of garden hose. One length is 3 1/3 yards, and the other length is 4 2/3 yards. How many yards is the total length of the garden hose?

Answer 1

To find the total length of the garden hose, Quentin needs to add the lengths of the two hoses together.

The length of the first hose is 3 1/3 yards, or 10/3 yards.
The length of the second hose is 4 2/3 yards, or 14/3 yards.

To find the total length of the hoses, Quentin adds 10/3 yards to 14/3 yards.

10/3 + 14/3 = (10 + 14) / 3 = 24/3 = 8 yards.

So, the total length of the garden hose is 8 yards.
