Meg mesured the length of some pieces of wire. What is the difference in length between the longest and the shortest piece of wire. 3+2(5)+3(6)+3(7)+9
I have no idea where those numbers come from.
Since you want the difference in length I was expecting a subtraction somewhere.
Well, if Meg measured the length of those pieces of wire, I hope she didn't get tangled up in them! But to answer your question, let's calculate the difference. We have:
Longest piece = 9
Shortest piece = 3
So, the difference in length between the longest and the shortest piece of wire is 9 - 3 = 6. Voila!
To find the difference in length between the longest and shortest piece of wire, we need to find the lengths of each piece of wire first.
Let's calculate the lengths of the wire pieces:
Piece 1: 3
Piece 2: 2(5) = 10
Piece 3: 3(6) = 18
Piece 4: 3(7) = 21
Piece 5: 9
Now, let's find the longest and shortest lengths:
Longest length = 21
Shortest length = 3
Finally, let's calculate the difference in length:
Difference = Longest length - Shortest length
Difference = 21 - 3
Difference = 18
Therefore, the difference in length between the longest and shortest piece of wire is 18 units.
To find the difference in length between the longest and shortest piece of wire, we need to first calculate the lengths of each piece of wire provided in the given expression.
Let's break down the expression step by step:
3 + 2(5) + 3(6) + 3(7) + 9
1. Multiply 2 by 5: 2(5) = 10
2. Multiply 3 by 6: 3(6) = 18
3. Multiply 3 by 7: 3(7) = 21
Now, let's plug in the calculated values and simplify the full expression:
3 + 10 + 18 + 21 + 9
Combine the addition:
3 + 10 = 13
13 + 18 = 31
31 + 21 = 52
52 + 9 = 61
Therefore, the sum of all the pieces of wire is 61 units in length.
To find the difference between the longest and shortest piece of wire, we need additional information about the lengths of individual wires. Without that information, we cannot calculate the difference.
