String a is 35 cm long. string b is five times as long as string a. both are necessary to create a decorative bottle. find the total length of string needed for 17 identical decorative bottles. express your answer in meters

Length of string A = 35 cm

Length of string B = 5 times as long as String A

= = 175 cm

Assuming that whole length of string A and B is used to decorate one bottle

So if ,35 cm of string A and 175 cm of string B is needed for 1 bottle.

Hence, for 17 bottles string A needed is = cm

For 17 bottles string B needed is = cm

In meters the length becomes;

1 cm = 0.01 meter

String A = 595 cm = 5.95 meter

String B = 2975 cm = 29.75 meter

And if these are added they become = 5.95+29.75 =35.70 meter

So, total length needed is = 35.70 meter ( if string A and B are added together)

Otherwise total String A needed is 5.95 meters and string B needed is 29.75 meters.

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
