Question

Camilla cut a piece of string 6 m 50 cm long into 2 pieces. One piece is 265 cm long. How long, in meters and centimeters, is the other piece?

Answer 1

Given:

Camilla cut a piece of string 6 m 50 cm long into 2 pieces.

One piece is 265 cm long.

To find:

How long, in meters and centimeters, is the other piece?

Solution:

We know,

$\boxed{\bold{1\:m = 100\:cm}}$

∴ 6 m 50 cm = (6 × 100) + 50 = 600 + 50 = 650 cm

The total length of the string = 650 cm

Camilla had cut the string into 2 pieces

The length of one piece = 265 cm

∴ The length of the other piece is = 650 - 265 = 385 cm

Now, to get the final answer we will write 385 cm in terms of m and cm:

385 cm = (300 + 85) cm = $\frac{300}{100} \:m \:+ \:85 \:cm=\bold{ 3\:m\:85\:cm}$

Thus, the length of the other piece, in meters and centimeters, is → 3 m 85 cm.
