Question

brian has a bamboo pole that that was 6 ¾ m. Long. He cut off 1 ¼ and another 2⅓ m. What is the length of the remaining bamboo pole in m.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

63/4= 27/4

1 1/4= 5/4

2 1/3= 7/3

27/4-(5/4+7/3)

27/4-(15/12+28/12)

27/4-43/12

81/12-43/12

38/12 = 19/6 = 3 1/6

Answer 2

Answer:

3 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

6 3/4 = 27/4

1 1/4 = 5/ 4

2 1/3 = 7/3

Total

27/4

reminder after being cut at first

= 27 /4 - 5/4 = 22/4 = 11/ 2

therefore 11/2 remained after first cut

second cut=

11/2 - 7/3 = 33/6 - 14/6 = 19/6

Where 19/6 = 3 1/6

therefore the remaining is 3 1/6
