Question

Rachel has a ribbon that is 16.2 metres long. Sheena has a ribbon that is 8.3 metres shorter than Rachel's ribbon.What is the total length of the two ribbons?

Answer 1

24.1m

Explanation:

We have these informations to answer this question with.

Length of Rachel's ribbon = 16.2 m

Sheena's ribbon = 8.3m shorter than Rachael's

So,

Sheena's ribbon = length of Rachael's ribbon - 8.3m

= 16.2m - 8.3m

= 7.9m

The total length of the two ribbons

= length of Sheena's ribbon + length Rachael's ribbon

= 16.2 + 7.9

= 24.1 m
