Answer 1

10 19/10 meters

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the amount of string used for the soccer field be x

and the amount used for coach spot be y

Also, let the total string used be represented as T

Step two:

Hence the expression for the total is

T= x+y

T= 9 1/2+ 2 2/5

T= 9.5+ 2.4

T= 11.9

or

T= 119/10 meters

or

T= 10 19/10 meters
