Answer:
5127 cm or 5 m 127 cm
Explanation:
First, convert all lengths to cm.
- 26 m 85 cm
=> 2600 cm + 85 cm => 2685 cm
- 3 m 18 cm
=> 300 cm +m 18 cm => 318 cm
- 18 m 70 cm
=> 1800 cm + 70 cm => 1870 cm
Let the length of the remaining wire be x cm.
Now, the sum of all the lengths will be 100 m = 10000 cm.
=> 2685 + 318 + 1870 + x = 10000
=> x + 4873 = 10000
∴ x = 10000 - 4873 => 5127 cm or 5 m 127 cm.
