Answer 1

To find the total length of the garden hose, we need to add the two lengths together.

First, let's convert both lengths to improper fractions.

3 1/3 yards = 10/3 yards
4 2/3 yards = 14/3 yards

Now we can add the fractions:

10/3 + 14/3 = (10 + 14) / 3 = 24/3

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

24/3 = 8/1

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