A tailor had 10 m of cloth. He used 2 m 40 cm and 2 m 60 cm to make two shirts. How much cloth was left?

2.4 m + 2.6 m = 5 m

10 - 5 = 5 m left

100000000000000000000000000

To find out how much cloth was left, we need to subtract the amount of cloth used for making the shirts from the total amount of cloth the tailor had.

First, let's convert the measurements to a common unit. We will convert centimeters to meters.

2 m 40 cm = 2.40 m (since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters)
2 m 60 cm = 2.60 m

Now, let's find the total amount of cloth used for making the shirts:

2.40 m + 2.60 m = 5 m

Next, we subtract the cloth used from the total amount of cloth available:

10 m - 5 m = 5 m

Therefore, the tailor had 5 meters of cloth left after making the two shirts.
