seth has some boards that are each 0.24 meter long. he places 6 of the boards end to end. what is the total length of the boards?

Respuesta :

Total Length = # of boards  *  length of a single board

Total Length = 6 * 0.24

Answer:

The correct answer is 1,44 meters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's try to imagine the situation.

Seth is placing the boards next to each other, end to end.

Each board measures 0.24 meter long, but if he has 6 boards and places them in this way they will measure 6 times their size, that is, 0.24 * 6.

Therefore we should only solve that multiplication: 0.24 * 6 = 1.44.

In this way we can verify that the total lenght of the boards is 1.44 meters long.
