Question

Pat is knitting a scarf. on average she can knit 2cm in 35 minutes. how long will it take her to knit a scarf that is 160 cm long​

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take for her to knit a 160 cm long scarf, we can first divide 160 by 2 (Because she knits 2 cm in 35 minutes), and we can use an equation that looks like this:

(160 ÷ 2) × 35 =?

First, solve for 160 divided by 2.

160 ÷ 2 = 80

Now, solve for the rest.

80 × 35 = 2800

We know that she will take 2800 minutes, but what is that converted into hours?

2800 ÷ 60 = 46.6666667

Therefore, it will take Pat 2800 minutes, or approximately 47 hours, to complete a 160 cm long scarf.
