Question

Ruben had a 18.4 m length of rope. He used 6.4 m of the rope

to make a rope ladder for a playground. He cut the remaining
rope into 2 equal pieces to make tire swings. How long is each
tire swing rope?

Answer 1

3.2m

Explanation:

First you do 18.4-6.4m, to get the amount of rope left after Ruben has used some to make that rope ladder. Then you get your answer, which in this case is 6.4, and divide it by 2. This way we get the length of one of the two equal lengths. After this we get 3.2m, which is the length of each tire swing rope!

Answer 2

6 m.

Explanation:

Remaining length = 18.4 - 6.4 = 12 m

So the length of each swing rope

= 12/2

= 6 m.
