Question

Patrick laid a pencil and a candle end-to-end. The pencil is 15. 80 centimeters long, the candle is 0. 303 yards long. There are 30. 48 centimeters in a foot. How many inches long are the two items placed end-to-end? a. 0. 48 in b. 16. 10 in c. 17. 13 in d. 43. 51 in.

Answer 1

When Pencil and Candle both the items are placed end-to-end then 17.13 inches long.

To find the length in we first need to calculate the lengths of these two items.

Given that :-  The length of pencil$\rm = 15.80 cm$  (in inches)

                      Given length $\rm=30.48$ $\rm cm$  (in foot)

How to find Length of pencil in inches if given in foot ?

Since we know ,

              $\rm \\1 foot = 12 inches\\ Given\;There\;are\;30.48cm\;in\;foot.\\ 1 cm\;=\dfrac{1}{30.48}\\ \rm Length \;of\; pencil\; (in\;foot )\;will\;be=15.80\times \dfrac{1}{30.48}$

  Then,      

               $\rm Length\;of\;pencil\;(\;in \; inches)=15.80\times \dfrac{1}{30.48} \times 12\\ =6.22\; inches$            

 How to find Length of Candle in inches if given in yard ?  

Since we know ,

                 $\rm 1yard=3feet\\ \rm given\;:- Candle\; length\;= 0.303 yards\\ Length\; of\; candle (in\; feet)= 0.303 \times3\\ So,\\ \rm Length \;of\;Candle\;(in\; inches)=0.303\times3\times 12=10.91$

Now, if we merge both the items end-to-end, Length will be:-

                 Length of Pencil( in inches)+ Length of Candle

                 ie.⇒ $\rm 6.22+10.91=17.13\; inches$ (in inches)

Therefore, Final length will be 17.13 inches
