Darnell has two scraps of cloth. The first scrap is 3.75 cm in length. The second scrap is 1/5 as long as the length of the first. What is the total length of the scraps?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The total scrap is of [tex]4.5\ cm[/tex] length.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total length of the scrap cloth.

We have to to add both the length of the scrap cloth.

First scrap cloth is of [tex]3.75\ cm[/tex] lets say it [tex]L_1[/tex] and the second scrap is [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of [tex](3.75)[/tex].

Calculating the length of second scrap lets say it is of [tex]L_2[/tex] length.

Now [tex]L_2=\frac{1}{5} \times 3.75\ cm = 0.75\ cm[/tex]

Adding [tex]L_1[/tex] and  [tex]L_2[/tex].

[tex]L_1+L_2= 3.75+0.75 =4.5\ cm[/tex]

So the total length of the scrap cloth Darnell is having [tex]=4.5\ cm[/tex]
