Final answer:

Explanation:
In this scenario, we have a plumber adding 6.25" of pipe to a line that is 10.5' long. To find the total length in inches, we need to convert the feet to inches first: 10.5 feet x 12 inches/foot = 126 inches. Adding the extra 6.25 inches gives a total of 132.25 inches. The fraction for the extended pipe length is 85/4(choice d).
