Question

The height of a cupboard drawer is 30 cm. Three jewelry boxes measuring 2 cm 4 mm, 1 cm 7 mm, and 5 cm 4 mm in height are placed one on top of the other in the drawer. How much space is left above the boxes in the drawer?
mm

Answer 1

Answer:202mm/20cm 2mm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can convert all the measurements into one unit

2cm 4 mm=24 mm

1cm 7mm=17mm

5cm 4mm=54mm

30cm=300mm

Then you add the combined length of the jewelry boxes (24+17+54)

which is 98mm.

You can then subtract this from the height of the cupboard. 300-98=202mm

Hope this helps!
