Marvin buys a hose that is 27 3/4 feet long he already owns a hose at home that is 2/3 the length of the new hose how many total yards of hose does marvin have now?

The total yards of hose that Marvin has now is yards

New hose (x) :

at home hose (y) =

How many total yards of hose does Marvin have now?

First, we are going to calculate the long of the hose that Marvin already has:

Total long of hose:

= new hose + at home hose

= x + y

Total of the long hose Marvin has is feet. The question asking the length in yards, so we need to convert feet to yards:

So the total yards of hose that Marvin has now is yards
