Question

The average length of three tapes is 6200 feet. none of the tapes is less than 5900 feet. what is the greatest possible length of one of the other tapes?

Answer 1

I hope you will be able to understand

Answer 2

The average length of three tapes is 6200 feet.

∴ total length of three tapes = 6200 × 3= 18600 feet

According the question, small possible length will be = 5900  ( given )

Now let consider two tapes among three have small possible length = ( 5900 ×2)

= 11800 feet,

Now, greatest possible length will be :-

=( Total length of tapes - small possible length of two tapes)

=$( 18600 - 11800) feet= 6800 feet.$

Hence the greatest possible length of one of the other tapes will be 6800 feet.

Ans :-  The greatest possible length will be 6800 feet.
