Rachel used 2/3 of a string to tie some books together. She used 1/3 of the remaining string for his art project. She had 30cm of the string left. What was the orignal length of string. Express your ans in meter.

1.35 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original length of the string be x.

So, we started out with x centimeters. Rachel used 2/3 of it (the original amount) to tie some books together. Therefore, we now have:

centimeters of string left. This represents the original minus the amount she used.

Next, she used 1/3 of the remaining string. In other words:

The newly added terms is 1/3 of the remaining string length.

And she ends up with 30 centimeters. Therefore, we need to solve the equation for x:

Therefore, the original length of the string was 135 centimeters or 1.35 meters (move the decimal two places to the left).

135 cm or 1.35 m

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3(135) = 90

1/3(90) = 30
