Answer:
9/4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
given,
total length of piece of wire = 3 (3/4)
= 15/4
it was broken into two. given,
one piece as = 1(1/2)
= 3/2
we have to find the length of the other piece, So,
length of other piece = total length of wire - length of one piece
= 15/4 - 3/2
= 15/4 - 6/4 (taking LCM as 4 for subtraction)
= 9/4
therefore length of other wire is 9/4 cm ................
