    (hopefully) 2,600

    Explanation:

    5350 mm = 535 cm

    = 535 x 5 (5 ropes) = 2675 cm

    = 15 cm * 5 (five knots for 5 ropes) = 75cm

    = 2675 - 75 = 2600.

    26150 mm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Size of each rope = 5350 mm

    Number of ropes = 5

    Total size of all five ropes = 5 * 5350 = 26750 mm

    Number of knots between the ropes = Number of ropes - 1

    = 5-1 = 4

    Each knot takes up 15 cm of the rope.

    So 4 knots will take up (4*15) cm of the rope.

    This is equivalent to 60 cm of the rope or 600 mm of the rope.

    So the effective length of the combined rope will be (26750-600) mm = 26150 mm
