Challenge
Tomorrow I am going to go to Canadian Tire with my family to buy Christmas lights for our house. Before I go, I have to figure out how many meters of Christmas lights I’ll need to buy in order to frame the front of the house. I have a basic blue print of the house that gives me some measurements. Since the blueprint is old, some of the measurements are missing and the measurements that are provided on the blueprint are in centimeters. I need you to help me figure out how many meters of Christmas lights I need to frame the whole house.
