Question

Aaron bought a 15.38 m curtain cloth which he found to be less. So, he again bought 90.6 cm. What is the total length(mm) of the cloth purchased by Aaron to make the curtains?

• A. 1059.8 mm
• B. 162860 mm
• C. 16286 mm
• D. 1628.6 mm

Answer 1

The correct option is C 16286 mm

Given,
Length of the first piece of curtain cloth = 15.38 m
The second piece of the curtain cloth = 90.6 cm

We know that,
1 m = 1000 mm and 1 cm = 10 mm
So, length of first piece of curtain cloth
= 15.38 m = (15.38 x 1000) = 15380 mm
Also, the length of second piece of curtain cloth
= 90.6 cm = (90.6 x 10) = 906 mm.

The total length of the cloth purchased
= length of first piece + length of second piece
= 15380 + 906
= 16286 mm
Thus, the length of the cloth purchased by Aaron is 16286 mm.
