Question

sue has 5 ropes of 5350 mm each.If she ties them together to make one long rope and each kont takes up 15 cm,how long will the rope be ​

Answer 1

Answer:

26150 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Size of each rope = 5350 mm

Number of ropes = 5

Total size of all five ropes = 5 * 5350 = 26750 mm

Number of knots between the ropes = Number of ropes - 1

= 5-1 = 4

Each knot takes up 15 cm of the rope.

So 4 knots will take up (4*15) cm of the rope.

This is equivalent to 60 cm of the rope or 600 mm of the rope.

So the effective length of the combined rope will be (26750-600) mm =  26150 mm

Answer 2

Answer:

(hopefully) 2,600

Explanation:

5350 mm = 535 cm

= 535 x 5( 5 ropes) = 2675 cm

= 15 cm × 5 ( five knots for 5 ropes) = 75cm

= 2675- 75 = 2600.

hopefully im right...
