Question

Ribbon A is 1/3 m long. It is 2/5 m shorter than Ribbon B. What's the total length of the two ribbons?

Answer 1

Hi

Answer:

$\frac{11}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A = $\frac{1}{3}$

B = $\frac{2}{5}$

_

A = $\frac{1x5}{3x5}=\frac{5}{15}$

B = $\frac{2x3}{5x3}=\frac{6}{15}$

$\frac{5}{15}$ + $\frac{6}{15}$ = $\frac{11}{15}$

Good Luck!

Answer 2

The total length of the two ribbons is $1\frac{1}{15}$ meters.

Further Explanation

Ribbon A = $\frac{1}{3}$ m long

Ribbon A = B -$\frac{2}{5}$ m so B = A + $\frac{2}{5}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ + $\frac{2}{5}$

Total Ribbon = A + B

= $\boxed { A + B = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{5} }\\ \boxed {= \frac{5+5+6}{15} = \frac{16}{15} }\\\boxed {= 1\frac{1}{15} }$

So the total length of the two ribbons is $1\frac{1}{15}$ meters.
