Answer:
51 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of the rope possessed by Todd = 17 inches.
But what he has corresponds to [tex]\[\frac{1}{3}\][/tex] of his actual requirement.
Let his total requirement be represented by x.
Then [tex]\[\frac{1}{3} * x = 17\][/tex]
Simplifying,
[tex]\[x = 17 * 3\][/tex]
[tex]\[x = 51\][/tex]
Hence the total length of the rope required by Todd is 51 inches which is 3 times what he has currently.
