Question

The length of a red ribbon is 3.5 times the length of a blue ribbon. If the length of the blue ribbon is 3.05 m, how much longer is the red ribbon than the blue ribbon?

Answer 1

Answer:

7.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of red ribbon = 3.5x

Length of blue ribbon = x

But they have given the length of blue ribbon as 3.05 m

Then length of red ribbon = 3.5 × 3.05

= 10.675 m

In the question they have asked that how much longer is the red ribbon longer than the blue one

Here we should subtract.

= 10.675 - 3.05

= 7.625 m

Hence red ribbon is longer than the Blue ribbon by 7.625 m

Answer 2

Let the red ribbon be x

x = 3.05 × 3.5

x = 10.675m

difference between red and blue ribbons

= x - 3.05

= 10.675 - 3.05

= 7.625m

so the difference is of 7.625m
