Question

The shelf is made of 3 pieces of wood, each 0.3 meters wide. There is also 0.05 meter of space between the shelf and wall on each side. What is the width, in meters, of Joslyn's closet

Answer 1

1.05

Explanation:

To start, you need to know how long the shelving is, so you would multiply 0.3*3 since there are three pieces of wood. After you do that, you need to find out exactly how much space is from the shelving to the wall, so multiply 0.05*2 since there are two sides of the shelf. Add it all together for a total of 1.05
