Answer: There is 58 feet of purple rope that is used to make a new station in gym.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of rope is used to make a new station in gym = 63 feet

Length of purple rope is used to make a new station in gym = k feet

Length of red rope which is found to be extra = 5

According to question,


k+5=63\\\\k=63-5\\\\k=58\ feet

Hence, there is 58 feet of purple rope that is used to make a new station in gym.
