Rita brought a roll of 20 m lace. She wants to put it around 5 table cloths. Each table cloth is 1m long and 50 cm wide. How much lace is used? |

Answer» Total length of lace = 20m tables dimensions (length and breadth) = 1m, 50 cm = 1m, 0.5 m perimeter for the table (rectangular table) = 2(length + breadth) = 2(1 + 0.5) = 3m so 3m is the required length of lace for 1 table THEREFORE lace required for 5 table will be = 5 × 3 = 15 m Hence RITA used 15m of lace for 5 tables. And 5 meter lace is left. hope it helps!!!! |
