One day Sara and Farah were walking on the shore of river Nile in Egypt
when they noticed a pole stuck in the middle of the river.
They went up to a house nearby and enquired about that pole.
The resident of the house told them that the pole was one-half in the
ground. The other one-third of it was covered by water, and the
remaining part of the pole is above the water which is about 11 feet.
What is the total length of the pole in feet ?

i dont understand how some people get 33 feet, 55 feet etc
simple mathematics
1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + x
1 = 5/6 + x
Therefore, x = 1 – 5/6
x = 1/6 which is equivalent to 11 ft
If 1/6 = 11; 5/6 = 11 in 5 places = 55
Total length of Pole is 55 + 11 = 66 ft
66 feet
Yeah right answer!

66 feet.
66 feet. 33 feet in ground, 22 feet under water and 11 feet above water.

Simple but logical. 🙂
The portion which is visible is 1/6 of the total length.
Let x be the total length of the pole.
Since 1/6 * x = 11
so, x = 66 feet.
Suppose total length of pole is x. Then equation is
x=(1/2 x)+(1/3 x) + 11
x=(0.5 x)+(0.33 x) + 11
11= x- 0.5 x- 0.33 x
11 = x- 0.83 x
11 = 0.17 x
x = 11/0.17
x= 64.7 ft
Total length of pole is 65 ft approx
11=( x- x\2 -x\3 )
* 6
66 = 6x -3x -2x
66 = x Length of bot
x = 1/2x + 1/3x + 11
= 0.5x + 0.33x + 11
x – 0.5x – 0.33x = 11
x – 0.83x = 11
0.17x = 11
x = 11/ 0.17 = 64.7 = 65 feet
65 feet
66 feet
66 feet
66
total length of the pole is 66 feet and it is splt calculated by aljebra of gr
it simple
The answer is 66 feet
(1/2)+(1/3)+x=1
X=1-(1/2)-(1/3)
X=1/6
Also x = 11 feet.
Therefore total length = 11 X 6 = 66 feet
66 feet
66Feet
54.868 ft
sorry ,,,wrong,,, we have to add the 11 ft to that figuer which comes to
65.888 ft
66 feet
The answer is definitley 66 feet
1/2(of the total pole length) under ground plus 1/3(of the total pole length) under water equals 5/6(of the total pole length) the remaining is 1/6(of the total pole length) above the water = 11 feet. Assuming that the total pole length is X.
if 1/6 X = 11 then X =11*6 = 66
It is simple mathmatics
11 feet = 2/3 + 1/3 = 5.5 total = 16.5 feet, which represents half. the other half is 16.5 , hence total = 33 feet.
55 feet
the answer is 66 feet
66 feet
66 feet is the total length of pole.
33 feet in ground, 22 feet in water and 11 feet above water.
Half in the ground + one third in the water = 5/6 already counted for leaving 1/6 which equals to 11 feet + 5/6 will equal to 55 feet making the total length of the pole 66 feet.
66 FEET
Yes Lubna you are absolutely right now. I appreciate your effort.
thank
Half in the ground + one third in the water = 5/6 already counted for leaving 1/6 which equals to 11 feet + 5/6 will equal to 55 feet making the total length of the pole 66 feet.
1/5=0.5 and 1/3=0.333 we add both 0.5+0.333=0.8333 then 1-0.8333=0.1667
if we suppose total length is X
then 0.1667*x=11 feet
x=11/0.1667=65.987 feet
1/2=0.5 and 1/3=0.333 then 0.5+0.333=0.833 if we round it then we take 0.8 but it there will be great effect on total length in case of feet and inches question we will take whole value and subtract from 1 then 1-0.8333=0.1667 now we suppose total length of pole in feet is =X
then
* X=11 feet
x=11/0.1667=65.987 feet if u round it then it will be 66 feet
33 ft.
The correct answer is 66 feet. Lubna shall go back to primary school to learn the basics of maths.
its a learning web site. but i observe that u cannot become good learner even good teacher in ur life and u need to learn some manner. i have no more words for u because its will be really useless for u
so sad kamran
11 feet divided by 2 equals 5.5
So the third left in the water is 5.5
Which in total gives 16.5 above the ground and 16.5 in the ground and a grand total of
33
Total length of the pole is 66 feet
66 feet
but exact ans is 55 feet because one half is 0.5 and one third is 0.3.when we will total the 0.5+.03=0.8 then 0.8 is part of 1 so we will minus 0.8 from total part 1 then 1-0.8=0.2
so 0.2 is remaining part which is equal to 11 feet.if 0.2=11 feet hence 0.8 will be equal to 44 feet. so total length of the pole is 55 feet
but exact ans is 55 feet because one half is 0.5 and one third is 0.3.when we will total the 0.5+.03=0.8 then 0.8 is part of 1 so we will minus 0.8 from total part 1 then 1-1-0.8=0.2
so 0.2 is remaining part which is equal to 11 feet.if 0.2=11 feet hence 0.8 will be equal to 44 feet. so total length of the pole is 55 feet
but exact ans is 55 feet because one half is 0.5 and one third is 0.3.when we will total the 0.5+.03=0.8 then 0.8 is part of 1 so we will minus 0.8 from total part 1 then 1-.08=0.2
so 0.2 is remaining part which is equal to 11 feet.if 0.2=11 feet hence 0.8 will be equal to 44 feet. so total length of the pole is 55 feet
1/3rd is not 0.3 but 0.33333
This will affect the result greatly.
33 feet
The correct answer is 66 ft as explained by Sameer.
33 feet
one half plus one third equals five sixths the remaining is one sixth which equals 11 feet. the total length equals six multiplied by 11 feet so the answer is
66 feet
33 feet
