Question

pls i need help 15 points!!!!! The treehouse will be 8 feet off the ground. Peter will hang a rope, with knots tied for footholds. Each knot uses an additional 2 inches of rope. Write an expression for the length of the rope needed if Peter ties n knots and wants the rope to touch the ground. How many inches of rope are needed if there are 8 knots? Explain.

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, we can figure out how many additional inches of rope are needed. If there are 8 knots, 16 additional inches will be needed. Peter would need 9 feet 4 inches of rope, or 112 inches.

The formula for finding the length of the rope needed would be 8+2n.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

112 inches

Explanation:

Each knot needs 2 inches of rope

There are 2 knots

2*8 = 16 inches

He wants 8 ft from the ground, but he wants it in inches

8 ft* 12 inches per foot = 96 inches for the rope

96+ 16 =112 inches of rope
