Answer:
9.25 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Chandni has 3 pieces of orange yarn that are 1.25 feet long each and 2 pieces of blue yarn that are 2.75 feet long each.
She uses all 5 pieces of yarn for an art project.
Question asked:
What is the total length of yarn, in feet, that Chandni uses for her art project ?
Solution:
By unitary method:
Length of 1 piece orange yarn = 1.25 feet
Length of 3 pieces orange yarn = 1.25 feet [tex]\times[/tex] 3 = 3.75 feet
Length of 1 piece blue yarn = 2.75 feet
Length of 2 piece blue yarn = 2.75 feet [tex]\times[/tex] 2 = 5.5 feet
As she uses all 5 pieces of yarn for an art project:-
Total length of yarn, she uses for her art project = 3.75 feet + 5.5 feet = 9.25 feet
Thus, the total length of yarn, she uses for her art project = 9.25 feet.
