Question

Swati bought 7.5 metres of ribbon. She used 3.75 metres of ribbon in packing a gift packet. Find the length of ribbon left with her.​

Answer 1

Given,

Length of ribbon bought = 7.5 metres

Length of ribbon used = 3.75 metres

To find,

Length of ribbon remaining.

Solution,

We can easily solve the given problem using simple logic.

Total length of ribbon bought by Swati = 7.5 metres

Length of ribbon used by Swati to wrap the gift packet = 3.75 metres

Therefore, the length of ribbon still remaining with Swati = (7.5 - 3.75) metres

                                                                                               = 3.75 metres

Hence, the length of ribbon left with Swati is 3.75 metres.
