Question

A ribbon was 32.7m long it was cut 5 pieces of 3.9m, 14.2m, 2.9m and 1.08m find the length of the remaining ribbon

Answer 1

Total length of ribbon= 32.7m

Total length of 4 Pieces= 14.2 +2.9+1.08 + 3.9 m

= 21.08m

total length of ribbion- length of the four pieces

= remaining ribbon

= 32.7m-21.08m

= 11.62 m

Remaining length of ribbon= 11.62m

Answer 2

Answer:

The remaining length of ribbon is $10.68$ m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total length of ribbon = $32.7$ m

           Ribbon cut into pieces = $3.9$ m, $14.2$ m, $2.9$ m, $1.08$ m

To find : The length of remaining ribbon.

Solution :

• It is given that the total length of ribbon = $32.7$ m

           Ribbon cut into pieces = $3.9$ m, $14.2$ m, $2.9$ m, $1.08$ m

• We have to find the length of remaining ribbon.
• To find the length of remaining ribbon, we have to first add the pieces of ribbon that are cut.
• So,

      Total length of cut pieces = $3.9$ m+$14.2$ m+$2.9$ m+$1.08$ m

                                           = $22.08$ m

• Now, subtract the length of cut pieces from the total length of ribbon.

          Remaining ribbon = Total length - Length of cut pieces

                                     = $32.7-22.08$

                                     = $10.62$ m

• ∴ The remaining length of ribbon is $10.68$ m.
