Question

a piece of wire 3 (3/4) long broken into two piece. one piece is 1 (1/2) long. how long is the other piece.​

Answer 1

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 ................
