35.7 meters.

Explanation:

Here is the complete question: String A is 35 centimeters long. String B is 5 times as long as string A. Both are necessay to create a decorative bottle. Find the total length of string needed for 17 identitcal decorative bottle. Express your answer in meters.

Given: String A length is 35 cm.

String B is 5 times as long as string A.

Total length needed for 17 identitcal decorative bottles.

First, lets find out the length of strings to make one decorative bottle.

Total length = Length of String A+ Length of string B

Length of string A is 35 cm

Length of string B= 5 times as long as string A

⇒ Length of string B=
`5* 35\ cm= 175 cm`

∴ Length of string B= 175 cm.

Total length =
`35\ cm+ 175\ cm= 210\ cm`

∴ Length of strings required to make one decorative bottle is 210 cm.

Now finding the length of strings required to make 17 decorative bottle.

Length of strings to make 17 bottle=
`17* 210\ cm= 3570 \ cm`

As required length of string is in meters. Therefore, converting centimeter to meter by dividing value by 100.

Next, converting the unit of lenght of strings,
`(3570\ cm)/(100) = 35.7\ m`

Hence, 35.7 meter of strings is required to make 17 decorative bottles.
