The length of pipe U is
34 of the length of pipe X and the length of pipe X is
23 of the length of pipe V and
27 of the length of pipe W. What fraction of the total length of the 4 pipes is pipe V?

The length of pipe X is repeated. Make the length of pipe X the same. LCM of 4 and 2 is 4.
Total length of all the 4 pipes
= 3 u + 4 u + 6 u + 14 u
= 27 u
