ribbon is 6m meter long 3 pieces, 75cm, 45cm and 80cm long are cut from it. What is the length remain? Giving your answer in meter
200 cm were cut from the original piece of ribbon.
200 cm = 2 meters
What is left?
To find the length of the ribbon remaining, we need to subtract the lengths of the pieces that were cut from the original length of the ribbon.
First, let's convert the lengths of the cut pieces from centimeters to meters:
- 75 cm = 0.75 m (since there are 100 cm in 1 meter)
- 45 cm = 0.45 m
- 80 cm = 0.80 m
Now, we can subtract the lengths of the cut pieces from the original length of the ribbon:
6 m - (0.75 m + 0.45 m + 0.80 m)
To simplify the calculation, let's add the lengths of the cut pieces:
0.75 m + 0.45 m + 0.80 m = 2 m
Now, subtract 2 meters from the original length of the ribbon:
6 m - 2 m = 4 m
Therefore, the length of the ribbon remaining is 4 meters.
