FLAT BAR STEEL 14. A welder has an order for 14 pieces of flat iron, each $$ 3-1 / 16^{\prime \prime} $$ long. What is the total length of the flat iron needed to complete the order? Disregard waste per cut.

Question

To find the total length of the flat iron needed to complete the order, we need to calculate the total length of all the pieces of flat iron ordered.

Given:
- Number of pieces of flat iron ordered = 14
- Length of each piece of flat iron = $$3 - \frac{1}{16}^{\prime \prime}$$

Let's calculate the total length of the flat iron needed:

Total length = Number of pieces * Length of each piece

Total length = 14 * $$3 - \frac{1}{16}$$

Now, let's calculate the total length.
Calculate the value by following steps:
- step0: Calculate:
  $$14\left(3-\frac{1}{16}ight)$$
- step1: Subtract the numbers:
  $$14	imes \frac{47}{16}$$
- step2: Reduce the numbers:
  $$7	imes \frac{47}{8}$$
- step3: Multiply:
  $$\frac{7	imes 47}{8}$$
- step4: Multiply:
  $$\frac{329}{8}$$
The total length of the flat iron needed to complete the order is $$41\frac{1}{8}^{\prime \prime}$$ or $$41.125^{\prime \prime}$$.
The total length of the flat iron needed is $$41\frac{1}{8}$$ inches or 41.125 inches.
