Question

Sarah cut String A into 8 equal pieces and
there was 3 m of string leftover. Each of
the 8 equal pieces was 6 m long.

String B, what is the length of String B?
m​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8 equal pieces of string, each 6 meters long, would be 48 meters of string. Add on the 3 meters remaining, and string A is 51 meters long. A is 3 times the length of B, so 51/3 = 17. String B is 17 meters long.
