Question

A bottle is 6.5 cm long. How far will 110 bottles reach if laid end to end? Give your answer in meters.

Answer 1

Answer : 7.15 meters

Solutions

We are given that

• each bottle is 6.5cm long

,

• we have to lay 110 bottles next to each other

(i)Total length = lenght of a bottle * number of bottles

= 6.5 cm * 110

=715 cm

(ii) Convert 715 cm to meters :

• 100 cm = 1 meter

∴715 /100 = 7.15 meters

• This means that the bottles will reach 7.15 meters in length.
