Answer: The width of Cameron's closet is 1 meter.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we let the total width of the shelf be x (in meters), then we can write an equation for the width of the closet as follows:
width of closet = width of shelf + 2 * (space between shelf and wall)
Since the shelf is made up of 3 pieces of wood, each 0.3 meters wide, the width of the shelf is:
width of shelf = 3 * 0.3 = 0.9 meters
And since there is 0.05 meters of space between the shelf and the wall on each side, the total space taken up by the spaces between the shelf and the wall is:
2 * 0.05 = 0.1 meters
Plugging these values into the equation above, we get:
width of closet = 0.9 + 0.1 = 1 meter
Therefore, the width of Cameron's closet is 1 meter.
