A carpenter is installing a pocket door in a wall. The opening for the door needs to be 2.5 cm greater than two times the width of the door. How many centimetres wide should you make the opening for a door that is 0.8 m wide?
ok I got my answer is it 162.5?
opening width=2.5 + 2(80)= ?
oh ok i kinda get it but thank Bobpursley
yes
yessssss thank you so much
To find out how many centimeters wide you should make the opening for a door that is 0.8 meters wide, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the width of the door from meters to centimeters.
0.8 meters * 100 centimeters/meter = 80 centimeters
Step 2: Calculate two times the width of the door.
2 * 80 centimeters = 160 centimeters
Step 3: Add 2.5 centimeters to two times the width of the door to get the total width of the opening.
160 centimeters + 2.5 centimeters = 162.5 centimeters
So, you should make the opening for the door that is 0.8 meters wide 162.5 centimeters wide.
