Answer
Find out the how much twine will he needs to pack 29 cartons today .
To proof
As given
uhammad, a shipping and receiving clerk, uses 1 yard, 2 feet, 4 inches of twine to wrap each carton he packs.
As given in the question
Convert the answer to larger units .
As between yard is the largest unit between yard, feet and inches.
and
Convert 2 feet into yard
Convert 4 inches into yard
twine to wrap each carton packs
L.C.M of (3 , 36) = 36
than the equation becomes
=1.77777778 yard
Now twine to wrap pack 29 cartons = 29× 1.77777778
= 51.5555556 yard
Now twine to wrap pack 29 cartons is 51.55 yard ( approx)
Hence proved
The length of pencil A is 5 cm
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the length of pencil A be "x"
Let the length of pencil B be "y"
Let the length of pencil C be "z"
<em><u>The total length of pencils A, B and C is 29 cm</u></em>
Therefore,
length of pencil A + length of pencil B + length of pencil C = 29
x + y + z = 29 ------------ eqn 1
<em><u>Pencil A is 11 cm shorter then pencil B</u></em>
x = y - 11 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Pencil B is twice as long a pencil C</u></em>
y = 2z
------ eqn 3
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 and eqn 3 in eqn 1</u></em>
<em><u>Substitute y = 16 in eqn 2</u></em>
x = 16 - 11
x = 5
Thus length of pencil A is 5 cm
