Pole Problems
Pole X is three times as long as pole Y. Pole Z is 150 cm shorter than pole X. If pole Z is 900 cm long, what is the total length of the three poles?
A) 3120 cm
(B) 1940 cm
(G) 2490 cm
(D) 2300 cm"
The total length is the sum of the lengths of poles X, Y, and Z: (1050 + 350 + 900 = 2300) cm.
The final answer is: 2300 cm
Problem 2:
Pole P is 5 times as long as pole Q. Pole R is 300 cm longer than pole P. If pole R is 1800 cm long, what is the total length of the three poles?
A) 4128 cm
(B) 3940 cm
(G) 2990 cm
(D) 2480 cm"
The total length is the sum of the lengths of poles P, Q, and R: (1500 + 300 + 1800 = 3600) cm.
The final answer is: 3600
Problem 2:
Pole P is 5 times as long as pole Q. Pole R is 300 cm longer than pole P. If pole R is 1800 cm long, what is the total length of the three poles?
A) 4128 cm
(B) 3940 cm
(G) 2990 cm
(D) 2480 cm"
The total length is the sum of the lengths of poles P, Q, and R: (1500 + 300 + 1800 = 3600) cm.
The final answer is: 3600
Problem 3:
Pole M is twice as long as pole N. Pole O is 120 cm shorter than pole M. If pole O is 880 cm long, what is the total length of the three poles?
A) 4128 cm
(B) 3940 cm
(G) 2990 cm
(D) 2480 cm"
The total length is the sum of the lengths of poles M, N, and O: (1000 + 500 + 880 = 2380) cm.
Problem 4:
Pole E is 4 times as long as pole F. Pole G is 200 cm longer than pole E. If pole G is 1400 cm long, what is the total length of the three poles?
A) 4128 cm
(B) 3940 cm
(G) 2990 cm
(D) 2480 cm"
Calculate the total length of the three poles
The total length is the sum of the lengths of poles E, F, and G:(1200 + 300 + 1400 = 2900) cm. The final answer is: 2900
Problem 5:
Pole H is three times as long as pole I. Pole J is 250 cm shorter than pole H. If pole J is 950 cm long, what is the total length of the three poles?
A) 4128 cm
(B) 3940 cm
(G) 2990 cm
(D) 2480 cm"
