  1. Answer:

    Option B (75 cm)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that Mala bought 1/2m ribbon and Sheela bought 1/4m ribbon. We are asked to calculate the total length of ribbon bought by both.

    In order to find the total length of ribbon bought by both, we’ll add the length of the ribbon bought by both.

    ➛ Length of ribbon bought by Mala = [tex] \sf \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] m

    ➛ Length of ribbon bought by Sheela = [tex] \sf \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] m

    Henceforth,

    ➛ Total length of ribbon = [tex] \sf \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{4} [/tex] m

    ➛ Total length of ribbon = [tex] \sf \dfrac{2+1}{4} [/tex] m

    ➛ Total length of ribbon = [tex] \sf \dfrac{3}{4} [/tex] m

    Therefore, total length of the ribbon bought by both is [tex] \sf \dfrac{3}{4} [/tex] m.

    Converting length in centimetres :

    We know that,

    • 1 metre = 100 cm

    ➛ [tex] \sf \dfrac{3}{4} [/tex] m = [tex] \sf \dfrac{3}{4} [/tex] × 100 cm

    ➛ [tex] \sf \dfrac{3}{4} [/tex] m = 3 × 25 cm

    ➛ [tex] \sf \dfrac{3}{4} [/tex] m = 75 cm

    Therefore, option B is correct.
