qop

Answer:

[tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] ft. (2.67 ft.)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that every 1/4th of an hour, the trench increases by 2/3 of a foot. To find how large the trench is in an hour, we simply multiply 2/3 by 4.

[tex]x=(\frac{2}{3})(\frac{4}{1})[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

If we want to find the value without being in a fraction, divide 8 by 3.

[tex]x=\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=2.67[/tex]
