How many feet of 3-inch pipe should be ordered to complete the runs on a project where each pipe measures 12 inches in length?

To determine how many feet of 3-inch pipe should be ordered for the project, we need to first understand the measurement conversions and the total length required.

Each pipe section measures 12 inches in length. There are 12 inches in a foot, so to convert the pipe length to feet, you can divide the length in inches by 12. Specifically, 12 inches divided by 12 equals 1 foot. Therefore, each section of pipe contributes 1 foot to the total length.

Next, we must consider how many pipe sections are required. If the question is regarding a project that requires a total of 192 feet of pipe, then you divide the total desired length by the length of each pipe section. In this case, 192 feet divided by 1 foot per section gives you a total of 192 sections needed.

Thus, since you need 192 sections of 3-inch pipe each measuring 12 inches, the correct total length to order is indeed 192 feet. Each section is properly accounted for, aligning with the project's needs.
