Answer:
The correct answer is 9.125 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Andrea is laying straws end to end to make a whole.
Length of long straws is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] foot and length of small straws is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] foot long.
Number of available long straws are 8 and small straws are 5.
Total length of the whole line is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] × 8 + [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] × 5 = 6 + 3.125 = 9.125 feet long.
Thus the total length of the the whole line Andrea made of straws is 9.125 feet long.
