Respuesta :

6 inches long. I used the formula 16 multiplied by 3/8.

Answer:

Total tape used by marge is 6 inches .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

marge cut 16 pieces of tape for mounting pictures on poster board.

[tex]Each\ piece\ of\ tape\ was\ \frac{3}{8}\ inch\ long.[/tex]

Total tape marge uses = Number of pieces × Each piece length

[tex]Total\ tape\ marge\ uses = \frac{16\times 3}{8}[/tex]

Total tape marge uses = 2 × 3

                                      = 6 inches

Therefore the total tape used by marge is 6 inches .
