Answer:

[tex]Total = 3\frac{1}{5}ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Pieces = 4[/tex]

[tex]Size = \frac{4}{5}ft[/tex]

Required

Determine the total size of the string

To do this, we multiply the number of pieces by the length of each piece.

[tex]Total = Pieces * Size[/tex]

[tex]Total = 4 * \frac{4}{5}ft[/tex]

[tex]Total = \frac{4 * 4}{5}ft[/tex]

[tex]Total = \frac{16}{5}ft[/tex]

Convert to mixed number

[tex]Total = 3\frac{1}{5}ft[/tex]
