Question

Two pieces of lengths 2 3/5 m and 3 3/10 m are cut off from a rope 11 m long. What is the length of the remaining rope?

Answer 1

Given
Total length of the rope =11 m
If the rope is cut into 3 pieces
Length of the first piece = 2 3/5=13/5 m
Length of the second piece =3 3/10=33/10 m
We have to find out length of the third piece =x
x= total length -(length of the first piece + length of the second piece)
=11 - (13/5+33/10)
=11-[(26+33)/10]
=11/1 - 59/10
=(110-59)/10
=51\10
=5 1/10 m
Therefore
Length of the remaining piece =x =5 1/10 m

Answer 2

2 3/5=13/5

3 3/10=33/10

reaming =11-(13/5+33/10)

11-[(26+33)/10]

(11/1-59)/10

5 1/10

this is the solution
