Answer:

61.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard length of a fire hose = 50 feet

The length now needs to be increased by the department by 23%.

So the increase in length is given by [tex]\[\frac{23}{100} \times 50\][/tex] = 11.5 feet

Total length of the new hose is obtained by adding the existing length with the increase in length.

Hence, total length = [tex]\[50+11.5\][/tex]

[tex]\[= 61.5\][/tex] feet
