Question

A 4 metre scale is broken into two unequal parts, length of one part is 3 m 16 cm. find the length of remaining part.

Answer 1

Length of scale= 4 metre

After breaking into two parts,

Part 1= 3m 16cm= 3.16m (100cm = 1m

16cm = 16/100 = 0.16m)

Let part2 be x

x + 3.16m= 4m

x= 4 - 3.16m

x= 0.84m = 84cm
