Question

Hayley went to the hardware store and bought 9 yellow ropes. The total length of the

ropes was 474.91 meters. To the nearest hundredth of a meter, how long was each rope?

Answer 1

To find the length of each rope, we can divide the total length of the ropes by the number of ropes:

474.91 meters ÷ 9 ropes ≈ 52.77 meters per rope

Rounding this result to the nearest hundredth of a meter, we get:

Each rope is approximately 52.77 meters long.
