But the OP sentence is like a sudoku. 2 3/8 is ambiguous. It could be 2 pipes or a measurement. If you read all the way to the end you see that he bought 6 pipes so it must be a measurement.
This would be a great test for an AI language comprehension system though. Perhaps you are an AI?
- dylan604 5y agoyes, but 2 at $26 before price went crazy means each at $13. new shipment comes in, they are now $22 each. For 6 pipes at old price, that's potentially $78 vs $132 at new price. So the numbers actually do matter. As I stated in another reply, I'm just not a fan of fractions especially in written sentences. Edit: Or if it was actually $26 per 2.375" pipe and the new prices after craziness was only $22 causing the reaction to go in the other direction.
- rhacker 5y agoYeah sorry about the weird fractions. I've been doing a lot of building/wood working and being lazy at the computer. Both prices were PER PIPE. It was more expensive PER PIPE for the 2.375" pipe BEFORE and it is cheaper now. So I don't fully understand why, if there's a shortage, they wanted to price it lower. :shrug: I'm happy I got some at all.
