Ravi has
Choose...
centimeters of rope left.

Answer 1

Ravi has 241 centimeters of rope left.

To solve this problem, we need to convert meters to centimeters since the length of rope given to Ravi is in centimeters.

2 meters = 200 centimeters
1 meter = 100 centimeters
4 meters = 400 centimeters

So in total, Ravi had 700 centimeters of rope. After giving 93 centimeters to his brother, he has 607 centimeters left.

Answer 2

when I did this I thought that they were adding 1/4 of 100 ounces to the meter, can you explain to me an easier way to do it?

Answer 3

Sure! To solve this problem, we first need to convert the 1/4 of 100 ounces to meters. We know that 1 ounce is approximately equal to 0.0283495 meters (this value may vary slightly depending on the density of the material being measured).

So, 1/4 of 100 ounces is:

(1/4) * 100 * 0.0283495 = 0.7087375 meters

Now we can add this value to the original 10 meters to get the total length:

10 + 0.7087375 = 10.7087375 meters

Therefore, the final answer is approximately 10.71 meters.

I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Answer 4

can you do the question without decimals?

Answer 5

Certainly! Instead of using decimals, we can convert all the measurements to fractions.

1 ounce is equal to approximately 1/35 of a meter, so 100 ounces is equal to 100/35 meters, which simplifies to 20/7 meters.

1/4 of 100 ounces is equal to 25 ounces, which is equal to 25/35 meters, or 5/7 meters.

So, we can add 10 meters to 5/7 meters to get the total length:

10 meters + 5/7 meters = (70/7) meters + (5/7) meters = (75/7) meters

Therefore, the final answer is (75/7) meters, which is approximately equal to 10.71 meters when rounded to two decimal places.
