    Answer:

    31 1/2 yards

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to calculate the original length of the ball of string we simply need to multiply the length of each piece of string by the total number of strings that were produced from the original ball of string. First, we can turn the 2 1/4 into a single decimal number. Since 1/4 is equal to 0.25 we just add this to 2 to get 2.25, now we can go ahead and multiply this by the 14 total pieces.

    2.25 * 14 = 31.5 or 31 1/2 yards
