Question

A piece of wire 5 3/4 m long is cut from a piece of 11 1/2 m long. What is the length of the remaining piece?

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of remaining piece = 5.75 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of piece1 = 5 3/4 m = 5+.75 m = 5.75 m

Total length = 11 1/2 m = 11 + .5 m = 11.5 m

Remaining length of piece2 = (11.5-5.75) m = 5.75 m
