Question

from a cloth 5 metre long a piece of length 2 metre 85 CM is cut off the remaining cloth has to be cut in in 5 equal pieces find the length of each piece​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2.85 m piece was cut off. The SI expressly disallows the use of compound units, two units to express one quantity, like 2 m 85 cm. Once you correct that, it is easy to subtract

5 m - 2.85 m = 2.15 m

If you prefer, 500 cm - 285 cm = 215 cm

But 2 m 85 cm reveals a lack of understanding of the SI. Assuming it is a homework problem, the teacher or the textbook needs a remedial SI course.
