Question

String a is 35 centimeters long. String B is 5 times as long as string A. Both are necessary to create a decorative bottle. Find the total length of string needed for 17 identical decorative bottles. Express your answer I'm meters

Answer 1

Total length of string required for
`17` decorative bottles
`= 35.7\ m`

Explanation:

Length of string A =
`35\ cm =(35)/(100) =0.35\ m`

Length of string B =
`5* A` =
`35* 5 =175\ cm = (175)/(100) = 1.75\ m`

Total length of the string required for decorating one bottle = Summation of string A and String B,used
`=1.75+0.35 = 2.10\ m`

To find the string needed for
`17` bottles we will multiply the strings used for
`1` bottle with
`17`.

So
`2.10* 17 =35.7\ m`.

The total length of string needed for [tex}17{/tex} bottles is
`=35.7\ m`.
