Answer:
31.1 meters
Explanation:
To find the total length of all the pieces, you add up the lengths of the individual pieces.
Rather than add 1.3 twenty-two times, most people use multiplication.
The sum of the lengths of the shorter pieces is ...
22 × 1.3 m = (22×1.3) m = 28.6 m
Adding that to the length of the one longer piece, we get the total length:
28.6 m + 2.5 m = 31.1 m
The path is 31.1 m long.
