a metre length of cable is cut into 3 strips and the first strip is 3.42 and the second strip was 0.75

how long would the 3rd strip be ?

1 metre = 100 cm

if the two strips that you give without units are 3.42 cm and 0.75 cm then the third strip is 100 - 3.42 - .75

(I have a feeling you did not type the question exactly as it was stated)

95.83

To find the length of the third strip, we need to subtract the lengths of the first two strips from the total length of the cable.

Given:
Total length of the cable = 1 metre
Length of the first strip = 3.42
Length of the second strip = 0.75

To find the length of the third strip, we can use the formula:
Length of third strip = Total length - Length of first strip - Length of second strip

Let's plug in the values and calculate the length of the third strip:
Length of third strip = 1 - 3.42 - 0.75
Length of third strip = 1 - 4.17
Length of third strip = -3.17

Based on the calculations, we obtain a negative length for the third strip, which does not make sense in this context. It seems there might be an error in the data provided or in the calculations. Please double-check the values and try again.
