I'll solve each word problem step by step.
Problem 1: Ribbons
- Jasmine's ribbon = 12.6 metres
- Sharon's ribbon is 3.8 metres shorter than Jasmine's
- Sharon's ribbon = 12.6 - 3.8 = 8.8 metres
- Total length = 12.6 + 8.8 = 21.4 metres
Problem 2: Jugs of Water
- Jug A has 2.17 litres
- Jug B has 0.79 litres less than Jug A
- Jug B = 2.17 - 0.79 = 1.38 litres
- Total volume = 2.17 + 1.38 = 3.55 litres
Problem 3: Trees
- Coconut tree = 7.6 metres tall
- Mango tree is 3.4 metres shorter than the coconut tree
- Mango tree = 7.6 - 3.4 = 4.2 metres
- Total height = 7.6 + 4.2 = 11.8 metres
Problem 4: Sacks of Potatoes
- Sack A contains 32.5 kg
- Sack B contains 3.7 kg more than Sack A
- Sack B = 32.5 + 3.7 = 36.2 kg
- Total mass = 32.5 + 36.2 = 68.7 kg
