Rebekah has a rectangular bedspread that measures 1 1/10 meters by 3 2/10 meters. She wants to see a fringe around the edge of the bedspread. What length of fringe does Rebekah need to purchase?

Answer: 3 26/50 or 3 52/100

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular bedspread measures 1 1/10 by 3 2/10. To know the length of fringe that Rebekah needs to buy for the whole bed, we multiply the figures given together since it's a rectangle.

Area of a rectangle = length * breadth

= 3 2/10 * 1 1/10

Change to improper fraction

= 32/10 * 11/10

= 352/100

= 3 52/100

Reduced to lowest term will be 3 26/50.

The length Rebekah needs to purchase is 3 52/100 or 3 26/50.
