The remaining length of ribbon is 12
☝️

Answer 2

Heya !!!



Let the length of remaining ribbon = X cm



Total length of Ribbon = 22 cm


Sum of length of two pieces of ribbon = 51/5 + 31/5 = 51+31/5 = 82/5 cm.



Therefore,




Sum of two pieces of length of ribbon + Length of remaining ribbon = 22




X + 82/5 = 22



5X + 82/5 = 22



5X + 82 = 22 × 5


5X + 82 = 110



5X = 110 - 82


5X = 28



X = 28/5 cm



Hence,


Length of remaining ribbon = X = 28/5 cm
