Answer:

There are 20 color strips in the blanket.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Length of blanket = 6 meter

A new color strip is added every 3 decimetres

We have to find the number of color strips in the blanket.

1 decimetre = 0.1 meter

Number of color strips =

$=\frac{\text{Length of blanket}}{\text{Color strip every 3 decimeter}}\\\\=(6)/(3* 0.1)\\\\=20$

Thus, there are 20 color strips in the blanket.
