Answer 2

25% of something is 1/4 of something or .25 of something

In this case, we are looking to find the length of 8 meters increased by 25%.

First we need to find 25% of 8, which by using a calculator, you can see that it is 2 (meters). 

Secondly, since we are adding 25% of 8 meters, which is  (2 meters) to 8 meters, (which is what is stated in the problem) we get 10 meters!

Hope this helps!
