To determine the total length of 18 sections of hose, it is crucial to know the standard length of one section of hose. Generally, in firefighting, a standard hose section is typically 50 feet long.

To find the total length, you multiply the number of sections (18) by the length of each section (50 feet).

Calculating this gives:

18 sections x 50 feet/section = 900 feet.

This calculation confirms that the total length of all sections combined is 900 feet. Thus, the correct answer reflects the accumulated length of all hoses combined, ensuring accurate preparation for firefighting operations where precise measurements of equipment are essential.
