Answer:

1.35 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original length of the string be <em>x</em>.

So, we started out with <em>x </em>centimeters. Rachel used 2/3 of it (the original amount) to tie some books together. Therefore, we now have:

x-\frac{2}{3}x

centimeters of string left. This represents the original minus the amount she used.

Next, she used 1/3 of the remaining string. In other words:

x-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}(x-\frac{2}{3} x)

The newly added terms is 1/3 of the remaining string length.

And she ends up with 30 centimeters. Therefore, we need to solve the equation for <em>x</em>:

x-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}(x-\frac{2}{3} x)  =30\\\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{2}{9}x=30\\\frac{2}{9}x=30\\ x=30\cdot \frac{9}{2}=135 \text{ centimeters}

Therefore, the original length of the string was 135 centimeters or 1.35 meters (move the decimal two places to the left).
