You have 2.5 metres of rope, you cut off 2 tenths of a metre and 2 hundredths of a metre off the rope. How long is the rope now?
To find the final length of the rope, we need to subtract the length that was cut off from the original length.
Cutting off 2 tenths of a meter is equivalent to subtracting 0.2 meters from the original length.
Cutting off 2 hundredths of a meter is equivalent to subtracting 0.02 meters from the previous length.
Thus, the total length cut off is 0.2 + 0.02 = 0.22 meters.
To find the final length:
Original length - Total length cut off = Final length
2.5 meters - 0.22 meters = 2.28 meters
Therefore, the rope is now 2.28 meters long.
Right now, the time is 14:33. What is the time in 26 hours.
To find the time in 26 hours from now, we need to add 26 hours to the current time of 14:33.
If we add 26 hours to 14:33, we need to consider both the hour and the minutes.
Adding 26 hours to 14:33:
14 + 26 = 40
Since there are 24 hours in a day, we can subtract 24 from the hour to convert it into the correct format:
40 - 24 = 16
Therefore, the hour would be 16.
The minutes remain the same, so the time in 26 hours from now would be 16:33.
There were 12 mugs in the pantry. You broke 4 mugs and bought some more to replace them. You buy double the mugs as you broke, how many whole mugs do you have?
You initially had 12 mugs in the pantry.
You broke 4 mugs.
So, you are left with 12 - 4 = 8 mugs.
You bought double the number of mugs that you broke.
You bought 2 * 4 = 8 mugs.
Adding the mugs you bought, you have 8 + 8 = 16 mugs in total.
Therefore, you have 16 whole mugs.
Brand A sells their product for 18 dabloons per 6 kg. Brand B sells their product for 20 dabloons per 5 kg. Which brand is cheaper, and by how much per kg?
To determine which brand is cheaper, we need to compare the price per kilogram for each brand.
For Brand A:
Price per kilogram = 18 dabloons / 6 kg = 3 dabloons/kg.
For Brand B:
Price per kilogram = 20 dabloons / 5 kg = 4 dabloons/kg.
Therefore, Brand A is cheaper by 4 - 3 = 1 dabloon per kilogram.
Brand A sells their product for 12 dabloons per 6 kg. Brand B sells their product for 12 dabloons per 2 kg. Which brand is cheaper, and by how much per kg?
To determine which brand is cheaper, we need to compare the price per kilogram for each brand.
For Brand A:
Price per kilogram = 12 dabloons / 6 kg = 2 dabloons/kg.
For Brand B:
Price per kilogram = 12 dabloons / 2 kg = 6 dabloons/kg.
Therefore, Brand A is cheaper by 6 - 2 = 4 dabloons per kilogram.
