A) How many meters of hemming ribbon will be needed if we add 50 cm to each tablecloth?
B) The ribbon sale in packages of 25 meters. How many packages must a company order?

Correct answer:

x =  637 m
n =  26

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a_1=150\text{ cm}\to \text{ m}=150\mathrm{/}100\text{ m}=1.5\text{ m } \\ {n}_1=62 \\ {n}_2=36 \\ {a}_2=140\text{ cm}\to \text{ m}=140\mathrm{/}100\text{ m}=1.4\text{ m } \\ {b}_2=160\text{ cm}\to \text{ m}=160\mathrm{/}100\text{ m}=1.6\text{ m } \\ u=50\text{ cm}\to \text{ m}=50\mathrm{/}100\text{ m}=0.5\text{ m } \\ x=(n_1+n_2)\cdot u+n_1\cdot 4\cdot a_1+n_2\cdot 2\cdot (a_2+b_2)=(62+36)\cdot 0.5+62\cdot 4\cdot 1.5+36\cdot 2\cdot (1.4+1.6)=637\text{ m} \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} n_3=x\mathrm{/}25=637\mathrm{/}25={\displaystyle \frac{637}{25}}=25\frac{12}{25}=25.48 \\ n=\lceil n_3\rceil =\lceil 25.48\rceil =26 \end{gathered}$$
