Question

Berna used 0.75 meters of yarn to knit a glove. She used 1.5 times more meters of wool to knit a scarf. How many meters of yarn did Berna use for the scarf?

Answer 1

Berna uses 1.125 meters of yarn for the scarf.

Explanation:

Given:

Length of yarn Berna uses to knit a glove = 0.75 m

Berna uses 1.5 times more meters of wool to knit a scarf.

To find the length of yarn Berna used for the scarf.

Solution:

Let the length of yarn Berna uses for scarf be =
`x`

The length of yarn Berna uses for scarf is 1.5 times more more than the length she uses for glove.

Thus, the equation to find
`x` can be given as:

`x=1.5* 0.75\ m`

∴
`x=1.125\ m`

Thus, Berna uses 1.125 meters of yarn for the scarf.

Answer 2

Berna used 1.125 meters of yarn to knit the scarf.

Explanation:

Given;

Amount of yarn used to knit glove = 0.75 meters

We need to find Amount of yarn in meters used to knit a scarf.

Solution:

Now given:

She used 1.5 times more meters of wool to knit a scarf.

So we can say that;

Amount of yarn in meters used to knit a scarf is equal to 1.5 times Amount of yarn used to knit glove.

framing in equation form we get;

Amount of yarn in meters used to knit a scarf =
`1.5*0.75 = 1.125\ m`

Hence Berna used 1.125 meters of yarn to knit the scarf.
