34.2 m minus 5m 8cm
29.12
Right.
To subtract 5m 8cm from 34.2m, you need to make sure the units are the same. Since both measurements are in meters, you can directly subtract them.
First, convert 5m 8cm into meters.
1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, so 8cm is equal to 8/100 = 0.08m.
Now, subtract 0.08m from 34.2m:
34.2m - 0.08m = 34.12m
Therefore, 34.2m minus 5m 8cm is equal to 34.12m.
To subtract 5m 8cm from 34.2m, we need to convert the centimeters to meters and then subtract both the meters and centimeters separately.
1. Convert centimeters to meters:
Since there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter, we divide the centimeters by 100 to get the equivalent in meters.
5m 8cm = 5m + (8cm / 100) = 5m + 0.08m = 5.08m
2. Subtract the meters and centimeters separately:
34.2m - 5.08m = 29.12m
Therefore, 34.2m minus 5m 8cm equals 29.12m.
