Question

If a length of 3(2/3) metres is cut from a wire which is 5(1/2) metres long, how much of the wire is left?​

Answer 1

Answer:

5(1/2)-3(2/3)

2.5-2

0.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of wire = 5(1/2) = 5/2

Length cut = 3(2/3)=2

Wire left= 5/2 -2/1

              = 5-4/2

              = 1/2

Hence only 1/2 wire is left.
