centimeters of rope left.
Ravi has 241 centimeters of rope left.
To solve this problem, we need to convert meters to centimeters since the length of rope given to Ravi is in centimeters.
2 meters = 200 centimeters
1 meter = 100 centimeters
4 meters = 400 centimeters
So in total, Ravi had 700 centimeters of rope. After giving 93 centimeters to his brother, he has 607 centimeters left.
when I did this I thought that they were adding 1/4 of 100 ounces to the meter, can you explain to me an easier way to do it?
Sure! To solve this problem, we first need to convert the 1/4 of 100 ounces to meters. We know that 1 ounce is approximately equal to 0.0283495 meters (this value may vary slightly depending on the density of the material being measured).
So, 1/4 of 100 ounces is:
(1/4) * 100 * 0.0283495 = 0.7087375 meters
Now we can add this value to the original 10 meters to get the total length:
10 + 0.7087375 = 10.7087375 meters
Therefore, the final answer is approximately 10.71 meters.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
can you do the question without decimals?
Certainly! Instead of using decimals, we can convert all the measurements to fractions.
1 ounce is equal to approximately 1/35 of a meter, so 100 ounces is equal to 100/35 meters, which simplifies to 20/7 meters.
1/4 of 100 ounces is equal to 25 ounces, which is equal to 25/35 meters, or 5/7 meters.
So, we can add 10 meters to 5/7 meters to get the total length:
10 meters + 5/7 meters = (70/7) meters + (5/7) meters = (75/7) meters
Therefore, the final answer is (75/7) meters, which is approximately equal to 10.71 meters when rounded to two decimal places.
