Question

Jada knit a total of 24 centimeters of scarf over 12 nights. After 25 nights of knitting, how many centimeters of scarf will Jada have knit in total? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

Using the unit rate of 2 cm per night that Jada knits, after 25 nights, she will have knit a total of 50 centimeters of her scarf.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to solve a problem using unit rates. Jada knit a total of 24 centimeters of scarf over 12 nights. To find the unit rate, we divide the total centimeters knit by the number of nights:

1. Unit rate = Total centimeters / Total nights
2. Unit rate = 24 cm / 12 nights
3. Unit rate = 2 cm per night

Now, with the unit rate established, we can calculate the total length of the scarf after 25 nights:

1. Total length after 25 nights = Unit rate * Total nights
2. Total length after 25 nights = 2 cm/night * 25 nights
3. Total length after 25 nights = 50 cm

Therefore, after 25 nights of knitting, Jada will have knit a total of 50 centimeters of the scarf.
