A skirt that is 35 7/ 8 cm long has a hem of 3 1/8 cm. How long will the skirt be if the hem is let down?

Solution:

Given a skirt 35 7/8 cm long , it has hem of 3 1/8 cm

If hem is let down, then the length of the skirt would be 35 7/8 + 3 1/8 = 287/8 + 25/8 = 312/8=39

Therefore, the skirt would be 39cm.

✦ Try This: A skirt that is 2/3 cm long has a hem of 1/5 cm. How long will the skirt be if the hem is let down?

Given a skirt 2/3 cm long , it has hem of 1/5 cm

If hem is let down, then the length of the skirt would be 2/3 + 1/5 = 0.66 + 0.2 = 0.86

Therefore, the skirt would be 0.86cm long.
