Question

Reema has a ribbon of length 2 m. She cut 4\7



m from it. The

length of ribbon left with her will be:​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Length of Ribbon, L = 2 m

Length of Ribbon she cut, x = 4/7 m

length of ribbon left, y = ?

so, Total length of ribbon = Length of ribbon cut out + length of ribbon left

ie, L = x + y

2m = 4/7m + y

by rearranging

y = 2 - (4/7) m

y = (14 - 4)/7 m (by taking LCM)

y = 10/7 m or 1.4285 m

so, the length of the ribbon left will be, y = 10/7 m
