If a shirt has 6 buttons and uses 1ft of thread per button and the sleeves have 3 buttons each side, then how much thread holds the buttons if there is also a button each on the two pockets and the rest of the shirt is made with 11ft of adjoining button thread?

Respuesta :

[tex]14ft[/tex] thread holds the buttons .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , If a shirt has 6 buttons and uses 1 ft of thread per button and the sleeves have 3 buttons each side,there is also a button each on the two pockets and the rest of the shirt is made with 11 ft of adjoining button thread . We need to find how much thread holds the buttons . Let's find out:

a shirt has 6 buttons and uses 1 ft of thread per button i.e.

[tex]6(1)ft = 6ft[/tex]

sleeves have 3 buttons each side

[tex]2(3(1)) = 6 ft[/tex]   { As there are two sleeves , we multiply by 2 }

a button each on the two pockets

[tex]2(1) = 2 ft[/tex]

So,Amount of thread holding buttons is:

[tex]6ft+6ft+2ft[/tex]

⇒ [tex]14ft[/tex]

Therefore , [tex]14ft[/tex] thread holds the buttons .
