Answer 1

$\huge{\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{\purple{Solution}}}}}$

Given:

• Maria purchased a 24m 25cm rope
• Nancy purchased a 17m 15cm rope

To find:

The total length of both the ropes.

Formula:

$\red{\fbox{1m = 100cm}}$

Converting the units:

• 24m 25cm = 2425cm
• 17m 15cm = 1715cm

Solution:

$⇒ (2425 + 1715) m$

Hence, the total length of the ropes is 4140cm or 41m 40cm
