The diameter of tue handle of a baseball bat is 1 3/4 inches. What is the length in inches of 8 of these diameters

Answer 1

To find the total length of 8 diameters of the baseball bat handle, you first need to determine the value of the diameter in inches.

The diameter is given as \(1 \frac{3}{4}\) inches, which can be converted to an improper fraction:

\[ 1 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{7}{4} \text{ inches} \]

Next, to find the total length of 8 such diameters, you multiply the diameter by 8:

\[ 8 \times \frac{7}{4} = \frac{56}{4} = 14 \text{ inches} \]

So, the total length of 8 diameters of the handle is 14 inches.
