I need to know if this is copper wire or aluminum and is it stranded or solid.

Only then can I reference my copy of Ugly’s for the answer.

1/2x + 2/3x = 11

Solve for X which is 9 3/7'
multiply 1/2 by x which is 4 5/7'(Jack)
multiply 2/3 by x which is 6 2/7'(Carly)
subtract Jack from Carl = 1 4/7 longer

If Carly’s wire is 11 feet in length, then 5.5 feet (half) equals 2/3 of Jack’s wire.

That means each third is 2.75 feet in length making Jack’s wire 8.25 feet in length.

Carly’s 11 foot wire is 2.75 feet longer than Jack’s.

1.6 ft assuming the combined length is 11 ft, which is implied.

Impossible to solve bc it doesn’t specify who’s wire is 11 feet or if it is the combination of the two that is 11 feet.
