1 piece of rope that is 101.25 feet in length. how much additional rope , in feet, does the school club need in order to have enough rope for their project?

Answer 1

They need 57.5 more feet of rope

Explanation:

Add all the lengths of rope together in feet ( so convert the yards to feet; 1 yd= 3 ft) and then subtract that number from 350!

I think this is correct

Answer 2

The school club needs additional 49.25 feet of rope.

Explanation:

Total length of rope needed = 350 feet

Available lengths are :

4 pieces of rope that are each 14 yards in length. Total length =
`4*14=56` yards

1 piece of rope that is 10.5 yards in length.

Total yards =
`56+10.5=66.5` yards

Now converting yards to feet as the final answer will be in feet.

1 yard = 3 feet

So, 66.5 yards =
`3*66.5=199.5` feet

1 piece of rope that is 101.25 feet in length.

Total rope in feet =
`199.5+101.25=300.75` feet

As 350 feet of rope is needed, the club needs more rope of 350-
`300.75=49.25` feet

Therefore, the school club needs additional 49.25 feet of rope.
