Question

Rekha had a satin ribbon 10 metres long.she cut off two pieces of 3×1/2 metres and 2×1/4 metres from it. What is the length of the ribbon left with her?

Answer 1

Answer:

$4 \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{17}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

first let us convert the two pieces in improper fraction from mixed fraction.

1 st piece=

$3 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$

2nd piece=

$2 \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}$

2nd step : now add both pieces=

$\frac{7}{2} + \frac{9}{4} = \frac{23}{4}$

third step: now subtract the sum of those two pieces from the length of the ribbon which is 10.

$\frac{23}{4} - 10 = \frac{17}{4} = 4 \times \frac{1}{4}$

hope this answer will help you
