Answer 2

Answer: Length of notebook in centimeters is 27.94 cm.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The width of a desk = 25 inches

There is given that 25 inches = 63.5 centimeters

As we have given that the measurement in inches varies directly with a measurement in centimeters.

So, we have mention that

If length of notebook = 11 inches

Let the length of notebook in centimeters be 'x'.

According to question, it becomes,

`(25)/(63.5)=(11)/(x)\\\\25* x=11* 63.5\\\\x=(698.5)/(25)\\\\x=27.94\ cm`

Hence, Length of notebook in centimeters is 27.94 cm.
