Aman bought a length of rope at the hardware store. he used 1/4 of it to make a bow painter (a rope located at the front of the canoe) for his canoe and then used 1/3 of the remaining piece to tie up a roll of carpet he now has 24 ft of rope left. what was the length of the rope he had originally purchased?

Answer-

He purchased a rope of 48 ft.

Solution-

Let us assume the length of the rope he had originally purchased was x ft.

He used one-fourth of the x to make a bow, so the rope he used was

The amount he left with was,

Then he used one-third of the remaining to tie up a roll of carpet, so the rope he used was

Then he left with 24 ft of rope.

∵ The total amount = Amount used + Amount left

Hence,

Therefore, he purchased a rope of 48 ft.

step-by-step explanation:

calculate the scale factor as the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original, that is

scale factor = = = = 1

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
