Video Summary

The problem involves two rows of shopping carts, each with a specific length. The first row has 10 carts totaling 2.9 meters, and the second row has 20 carts totaling 4.9 meters. The goal is to find the length of a single cart. By setting up equations for the length of the rows, considering the individual cart length \(x\) and the gap between handles \(y\), a system of equations is solved. The gap \(y\) is calculated to be 0.2 meters, and the cart length \(x\) comes out to 1.1 meters. Thus, the length of a single shopping cart is 1.1 meters.
