3strips of 2 yard wide outdoor carpet are used to cover a sidewalk. one is 3.5 yards long the second is 25 percent longer than the first, and the third is 6 1/4 yards long. how long are the three carpets placed end to end?

The length of the three yards when they are placed end to end is:

                     14.125 yards.

( Since, Length of first strip = 3.5 yards.

Length of Second strip = 4.375 yards.

Length of Third strip = 6.25 yards.  )

It is given that:

3 strips of 2 yard wide outdoor carpet are used to cover a sidewalk.

i.e. the length of the second strip is: 3.5+25% of 3.5

i.e.

Length of second strip= 3.5+0.25×3.5

i.e.

Length of second strip= 4.375 yards

i.e. The length of third strip is:

Hence, the total length of three carpets is:

  3.5+4.375+6.25= 14.125 yards.

3 1/3 x 2 3/5 = 8 2/3

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply the first number by the second number to get your answer.
