There is a pole in a lake.
One-half of the pole is in the ground,
another one-third of it is covered by water,
& 8 ft is out of the water.
Then,
What is the total length of the pole in ft?

24 feet

8(2/3)+4 = 12 *  2 = 24 feet

I agree with aravind

It would be 48 ft

 

1-1/2+1/3 = 1/6

1/6= 8 ft

half will be 24 and one third will be 16 total will be 48 ft
