A factory needs 175 feet of wire to wrap all the deliveries they will send out for a new on

housing project.

They have the following lengths of wire already:

2 pieces of wire that are each 12 yards in length1 piece of wire that is 65.4 feet in lengthHow much additional wire, in feet, does the factory need in order to wrap the deliveries?

A. 85.6

B. 37.6

C. 97.6

D. 312.4

Answer :

The additional wire, in feet, that the factory needs in order to wrap the deliveries would be = 37.6 feet

That is option B.

How to calculate the remaining length of wire needed in the factory?

The total length of wire needed in the factory to wrap up all the deliveries for the house project = 175 ft.

The lengths of wires available = 2 × 12 yrd = 24 yrd.

But 1 yard = 3 foot

24 yards = X

Make X the subject of formula;

X = 24×3 = 72 ft

The second wire available = 65.4 ft

To calculate the remaining wire first add all the available wire. That is;

= 72+65.4 = 137.4ft

Subtract fro the total wire;

= 175-137.4 = 37.4 feet.
