48.85

Answer 2

Given ,

• Amanda has a piece of ribbon = 60m
• she cutted it into 2 pieces from it = 11.15m

Find ,

• The length of the remaining piece = ?

Let ,

• The length of the remaining piece = x

Now ,

• The total piece = 60 m
• cutted 2 pieces = 11.15m
• remaining piece = x

• 60m - 11.15m + 11.15m = Xm
• 60m - 22.30m = Xm
• Xm = 37.70 m

Therefore ,

Remaining pieces = 37.70 m
