Question

the snake slithered 2.25 m before resting on a rock. Then the snake slithered twice as far as it did before, to catch a rat. When the snake headed home he slithered another 90 cm. What was the total distance the snake slithered?

Answer 1

2.25m + 2(2.25m) + 90 cm =

2.25m + 4.50m + 90 cm

6.75m + 90 cm

1 cm = 0.01m...so 90 cm = 90 * 0.01 = 0.9m

6.75m + 0.9m = 7.65m

OR../=-

1m = 100 cm....so 7.65m = 7.65 * 100 = 765 cm

Answer 2

Explanation:

2.25m + 2(2.25m) + 90 cm =

2.25m + 4.50m + 90 cm

6.75m + 90 cm

1 cm = 0.01m...so 90 cm = 90 * 0.01 = 0.9m

6.75m + 0.9m = 7.65m <===
