Question 151
A skirt that is $35\frac{7}{8}$ cm long has a hem of $3\frac{1}{8}$ cm. How long will the skirt be if the hem is let down?

Answer 1

Length of the skirt $=35\frac{7}{8}$ cm = $\frac{287}{8}$ cm
Dimension of hem $=3\frac{1}{8}$ cm = $\frac{25}{8}$ cm
Length of skirt, if hem is let down $=(\frac{287}{8}+\frac{25}{8})$ cm = $\frac{312}{8}$ cm = 39 cm
Hence, the length of the skirt, if the hem is let down, is 39 cm
