A pipe 24ft long is cut into four pieces, the first 4ft long, the second 5ft long, and the third 7ft long. What is the length of the remaining piece ?
24-4-5-7= ??
To find the length of the remaining piece, we need to subtract the sum of the lengths of the three given pieces from the total length of the pipe.
Total length of the pipe = 24 ft
Length of the first piece = 4 ft
Length of the second piece = 5 ft
Length of the third piece = 7 ft
Sum of the lengths of the three given pieces = 4 ft + 5 ft + 7 ft = 16 ft
Length of the remaining piece = Total length of the pipe - Sum of the lengths of the three given pieces
= 24 ft - 16 ft
= 8 ft
Therefore, the length of the remaining piece is 8 ft.
To find the length of the remaining piece, we need to subtract the lengths of the first three pieces from the total length of the pipe.
Total length of the pipe = 24 ft
Length of the first piece = 4 ft
Length of the second piece = 5 ft
Length of the third piece = 7 ft
To find the length of the remaining piece, we subtract the sum of the lengths of the first three pieces from the total length of the pipe:
Remaining length = Total length - Length of first piece - Length of second piece - Length of third piece
Remaining length = 24 ft - 4 ft - 5 ft - 7 ft
Remaining length = 8 ft
Therefore, the length of the remaining piece is 8 ft.
