Question

Three rectangular tables are placed end to end to form one long table 7.8 meters long. The lengths of two of the tables are 3.5 meters and 1.6 meters. What is the length of the third small table?

Answer 1

The length of the third small table is 2.7 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the third table, we need to subtract the sum of the lengths of the first two tables from the total length of the long table. Using the given information, we can calculate:

Total length of the long table - (Length of the first table + Length of the second table) = Length of the third table

7.8 meters - (3.5 meters + 1.6 meters) = Length of the third table

7.8 meters - 5.1 meters = Length of the third table

The length of the third small table is 2.7 meters.

Answer 2

The length of the third smallest table is 1.6 because 7.8 is more than 3.5 and 3.5 is more than 1.6,
