Problema Solution

One foot of one-eighth inch copper wire weighs four ounces. What is the weight of five-eighths mile of this tubing?

Answer provided by our tutors

First find out how many feet we are talking about

5280 ft= 1 mile

since its 5/8 of a mile

5280(5/8)= 3300 feet

it weighs 4 oz per foot so next:

4oz*3300

13,200 oz or 825 pounds
