Question

Maria just went down the slide at the playground. She walks 1 meter to get from the end of the slide back to the ladder. Then she climbs 2 meters to the top of the slide again. How long is the slide? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The length of the slide is 3 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the slide, we need to add the distance Maria walks to get from the end of the slide back to the ladder and the distance she climbs to the top of the slide again.

We are given that she walks 1 meter and climbs 2 meters.

Therefore, the length of the slide is:

1 meter + 2 meters

= 3 meters.
