Question and rationale:
The question is: Tony wants to build the longest rope he possibly can, so he collects all the rope in his home. He finds an 8-foot rope, a 20-foot rope, three 2 foot ropes, and a 7-foot rope. each knot between the ropes makes him lose 1.2 foot per knot. How long is his rope when he's done tying them all together?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The combined length of all the rope is 41 feet because 8 + 20 + (2 x 3) + 7 = 41. He loses 6 feet from the knots because 5 x 1.2 = 6. The final length is 35 feet because 41 - 6 = 35.
