Question

From a rope 11m long , two pieces of lengths 2(3/5)m and 3(3 /10)m are cut off. What is the length of the remaining rope?

Answer 1

The length of the remaining piece is $5\frac{1}{10}$ m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the rope is 11 m.

The length of two pieces that were cut off the rope were $2\frac{3}{5}\ m$ and $3\frac{3}{10}\ m$.

Compute the length of the remaining piece as follows:

Remaining Length = $11-2\frac{3}{5}-3\frac{3}{10}$

                               $=11-\frac{13}{5}-\frac{33}{10}$

                               $=\frac{110-26-33}{10}$

                               $=\frac{51}{10}$

                               $=5\frac{1}{10}$

Thus, the length of the remaining piece is $5\frac{1}{10}$ m.
