Question

from a tape 5 1/4 metre long I cut off 2/7 of it. what length of tape remains. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

2.25 m = 225 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Remaining fraction = 1 - 2/7 = 3/7.

Length of whole tape = 5 + 1/4 = 21/4 m

Length of remaining tape = 3/7 * 21/4 = 9/4 = 2.25 m

Answer 2

Answer:

The Answer is 3 3/4 m or 3.75 m

Step-by-step explanation:

2/7 x 5 1/4

=2/7x21/4

=1/1x3/2

=3/2

Then we need to subtract,

5 1/4 - 3/2

=21/4-3/2

=21/4-3/2x2/2

=21/4-6/4

=21-6/4

=15/4

3 3/4

=3.75 m

Therefore the answer is 3 3/4 m or 3.75 m
