A.16
B.20
C.27
D.29
C?
no, yes.
How do you solve the rope question?
Is the rope question B?
yes, 150cm. 3 meters is 300 cm
To find the length of each piece when Aubrey cuts her rope into two equal pieces, you need to divide the total length of the rope by the number of pieces. In this case, the rope is 3 meters long, and she cuts it into 2 equal pieces.
The formula to find the length of each piece is:
Length of each piece = Total length of rope / Number of pieces
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
Length of each piece = 3 meters / 2
To convert meters to centimeters, we need to multiply the length by 100 because there are 100 centimeters in a meter.
Length of each piece in centimeters = (3 meters / 2) * 100
Length of each piece in centimeters = 1.5 meters * 100
Length of each piece in centimeters = 150 centimeters
Therefore, each piece will be 150 centimeters long.
For the second question, Mrs. Thomas wants to know the greatest number of mangos she can buy with $35. Since Mr. Wand offers mangos for $1.50 each or $15 per dozen, we need to consider the most cost-effective option.
Option 1: Buying mangoes individually for $1.50 each.
The number of individual mangos Mrs. Thomas can buy is:
Number of individual mangos = Amount of money / Cost per mango
Number of individual mangos = $35 / $1.50
Option 2: Buying mangoes in dozens for $15.
The number of dozens Mrs. Thomas can buy is:
Number of dozens = Amount of money / Cost per dozen
Number of dozens = $35 / $15
Comparing the two options, we can determine which one allows Mrs. Thomas to buy the greater quantity of mangoes.
Number of individual mangos = 35 / 1.50 ≈ 23.33
Number of dozens = 35 / 15 ≈ 2.33
Since we cannot purchase a fraction of a mango or a fraction of a dozen, Mrs. Thomas can only buy a whole number of mangos. Therefore, she can buy 2 dozen mangos, which is 24 individual mangos.
Therefore, the greatest number of mangos that Mrs. Thomas can buy with $35 is 24, which corresponds to option D.
