Question

Roopa purchased a 15 m 54 cm long rope and Saran purchased a 34 m 45 cm long rope.
What is the total length of the ropes purchased by both of them?

• A. 49 cm 99 m
• B. 50m
• C. 49 m 99 cm
• D. 59 m 99 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is C 49 m 99 cm

$\because$ 1 m = 100 cm
$\therefore$ 15 m = 1500 cm and 34 m = 3400 cm
Rope purchased by Roopa =15 m 54 cm
= 1500 + 54
= 1554 cm
Rope purchased by Saran =34 m 45 cm
= 3400 + 45
= 3445cm
$\therefore$ Total length = 1554 + 3445
= 4999 cm
= 49 m 99 cm
