What is the total length of electrical conduit required if the lengths are 14'6", 21'3", 6'0", and 22'9"?

To determine the total length of electrical conduit required, it is necessary to add all the individual lengths together. The given lengths are:

• 14 feet 6 inches

• 21 feet 3 inches

• 6 feet 0 inches

• 22 feet 9 inches

First, it's helpful to convert all measurements into inches for easier addition:

• 14 feet 6 inches = (14 × 12) + 6 = 168 + 6 = 174 inches

• 21 feet 3 inches = (21 × 12) + 3 = 252 + 3 = 255 inches

• 6 feet 0 inches = (6 × 12) + 0 = 72 + 0 = 72 inches

• 22 feet 9 inches = (22 × 12) + 9 = 264 + 9 = 273 inches

Now add these values together:

174 + 255 + 72 + 273 = 774 inches

Next, convert the total from inches back to feet and inches. There are 12 inches in a foot, so:

774 inches ÷ 12 = 64 feet with a remainder.

To find the remainder, calculate:
