Answer:

3.62 inches

Explanation:

Explanation:

Given that Ed's string length is = 21.72 inches

And that Georgiana's string length is = 1/6 of Ed's string length

We need to find Georgiana's string length

Georgiana's string length = 1/6 of Ed's string length

And Georgiana's string length = 1/6 × 21.72

Georgiana's string length = 21.72/6

Which would bring us that Georgiana's string length is = 3.62 inches

I hope this helps, if it doesn't then just message me and ill be more than happy to help :)
