Question

Some friends are playing a game of cricket. They have 6 bats. Each cricket bat

has a width of 10.8 centimeters. The friends place the bats side by side. What is
the total width of the cricket bats in centimeters?

Answer 1

The total width of 6 cricket bats, each 10.8 cm in width, placed side by side is calculated by multiplying the width (10.8 cm) by the number of bats (6) to get a total width of 64.8 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves a simple multiplication problem to find the total width of multiple objects placed side by side. In this case, each cricket bat has a width of 10.8 centimeters and there are 6 bats in total. To get the total width, we multiply the width of one bat by the number of bats:

1. Identify the width of one cricket bat: 10.8 centimeters.
2. Count the total number of cricket bats: 6 bats.
3. Multiply the width by the number of bats: 10.8 cm × 6 = 64.8 centimeters.

Therefore, the total width of the cricket bats when placed side by side is 64.8 centimeters.
