Question

Alexis is knitting a blanket 6 meters long. Every 3 decimeter, she changes the color of the yarn to make stripes. How many stripes will the blanket have?

Answer 1

There are 20 color strips in the blanket.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Length of blanket = 6 meter

A new color strip is added every 3 decimetres

We have to find the number of color strips in the blanket.

1 decimetre = 0.1 meter

Number of color strips =

`=\frac{\text{Length of blanket}}{\text{Color strip every 3 decimeter}}\\\\=(6)/(3* 0.1)\\\\=20`

Thus, there are 20 color strips in the blanket.
