Answer:
7 1/15 m
Step-by-step explanation:
12 2/5 m = 62/ 5 m = initial length
5 1/3 m = 16/3 m = length cut
so, Length of remaining rope
= 62/5 - 16/3
= (62×3 - 16×5)/ 15
= 106/ 15 m
= 7 1/15 m

Answer:7 1/15m
Step-by-step explanation: length of the initial rope is 12 2/5m
Length of the rope cut is 5 1/3m
Changing mixed fraction to proper fraction , we get -
12 2/5m = 62/5
5 1/3m = 16/3
... so , length of left out rope - 62/5 - 16/3 = 62×3 - 16×5 / 15
=) 106/15 or 7 1/15m
