Question

you need a piece of paper to measure 64.25 cm. if you tape two together that each measure 38.4 how much do you need to cut off

Answer 1

Answer:

12.55 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of each piece = 38.4 cm

total length of two pieces = 38.4 x 2 cm

                                           = 76.80 cm

Required length = 64.25 cm

extra length = total length - required length

                    = 76.80 cm - 64.25 cm

                    = 12.55 cm

Ans: We need to cut off 12.55 cm

Answer 2

Answer: The length needed to cut off is 12.55 cm Step-by-step explanation: The corrected question is: you need a piece of paper to measure 64.25 cm. If you tape two together that each measure 38.4 cm, how much do you need to cut off? Solution: measurement/length of each paper piece = 38.4 cm measurement/ length required = 64.25 cm If length of one paper piece is 38.4 cm then if we tape 2 pieces together then the measurement or length is calculated as: 38.4 + 38.4 = 76.8 cm So to calculate how much we need to cut off: length required to cutoff = total length of two pieces - length required

= 76.8 - 64.25

= 12.55 cm So the length required to cut off is

12.55 cm
