Ed needed to extend the string on his kite. The current string was seven and three-fourths feet that is (7 3/4).
The mixed fraction number is coverted into a decimal number.
7 3/4 = 7.75 feet
He cut a piece of string that measured 8.5 feet and added it to the existing string.
Then the new length of the string will be
L = 7.75 + 8.5
L = 16.25
L = 16 1/4 feet
The new length of the string will be 16 1/4 feet. Then the correct option is B.
