Question

Ruby needs 12% inches of string to make a bracelet. She has one piece of string that is 3% inches long and another piece

that is 5% inches long. How many more inches of string does Ruby need to make the bracelet?
A.45% inches
B.3% inches
C.42 inches
8% inches

Answer 1

Ruby needs 4% inches more of string to make the bracelet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many more inches of string Ruby needs to make the bracelet, we need to subtract the total length of the two pieces of string she already has from the length required (which is 12% inches).

So the calculation is: 12% inches - (3% inches + 5% inches) = 4% inches.

Therefore, Ruby needs 4% inches more of string to make the bracelet.
