Question

from a ribbon which is 22 cm long, two pieces of length 5 1/5 m and 3 1/5 m are cut off. what is the length of the remaining ribbon?

Answer 1

Length of ribbon = 22 m
First piece = 51/5 m
Second piece = 31/5 m
Sum = 51/5 + 31/5
= 82/5m
Left piece = 22 - 82/5
= 22/1 - 82/5
= 110+82/5
= 192/5
