Brian Ashley · Answer 1

The horizontal number line that could be used to show number of centimeters of ribbon Hilary unraveled is 3cm to 4.5cm

Explanation:

Given that Hilary has already unraveled 3.0 centimeters of ribbon and then continues to unravel 1.5 more.

So starting will be 3.0 cm and maximum ribbon unravelled will be equal to 4.5cm so the horizontal number line that could be used would be from 3cm to 4.5cm including both fractional and integral values.

Jalen Keller · Answer 2

4.5 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Hilary unraveled 3.0 centimeters of ribbon in first place.

Then, she unraveled 1.5 centimeters more.

So, to answer this question we need to sum both centimeters of ribbon, that is

3.0cm + 1.5cm = 4.5 cm

Therefore, Hilary unraveled a total of 4.5 centimeters of ribbon.
