Answer: 236 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total length, all we have to do is add together the mixed fractions. First, let's change the mixed fractions to improper fractions.
[tex]98\frac{1}{4}=\frac{393}{4}[/tex]
[tex]39\frac{1}{2}=\frac{79}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{393}{4} +\frac{393}{4} +\frac{79}{2}[/tex] [make sure denominator is the same]
[tex]\frac{393}{4} +\frac{393}{4} +\frac{158}{4}[/tex] [add]
[tex]\frac{944}{4}[/tex] [divide]
[tex]236[/tex]
Now, we know that the total length is 236 inches.
