Answer 1

6 inches long. I used the formula 16 multiplied by 3/8.

Answer 2

Total tape used by marge is 6 inches .

Explanation:

As given

marge cut 16 pieces of tape for mounting pictures on poster board.

`Each\ piece\ of\ tape\ was\ (3)/(8)\ inch\ long.`

Total tape marge uses = Number of pieces × Each piece length

`Total\ tape\ marge\ uses = (16* 3)/(8)`

Total tape marge uses = 2 × 3

= 6 inches

Therefore the total tape used by marge is 6 inches .
