Respuesta :

Answer: There is 58 feet of purple rope that is used to make a new station in gym.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of rope is used to make a new station in gym = 63 feet

Length of purple rope is used to make a new station in gym = k feet

Length of red rope which is found to  be extra = 5

According to question,

[tex]k+5=63\\\\k=63-5\\\\k=58\ feet[/tex]

Hence, there is 58 feet of purple rope that is used to make a new station in gym.
