A) 16.4 meters
B) 21.3 meters
C) 32.3 meters
D) 42.1 meters

Answer 1

To find out how much rope Anisa has, we multiply the rope needed for one box by 4 and add the additional rope required. She has 32.9 meters of rope in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anisa needs 5.5 meters of rope to tie one present box. To tie 4 boxes, she would need 4 times the amount of rope needed for one box, which is 5.5 meters multiplied by 4. Let's calculate this:

5.5 meters/box × 4 boxes = 22 meters.

Now, it is said that Anisa needs another 10.9 meters of rope. To determine how much rope she has now, we add this to the rope required for the 4 boxes:

22 meters + 10.9 meters = 32.9 meters.

Therefore, Anisa has a total of 32.9 meters of rope now.
