A carpenter bought a piece of wood that was 0.17 meters long. Then he sawed 0.05 meters off the end. How long is the piece of wood now?
To find the length of the piece of wood after sawing off 0.05 meters, we subtract 0.05 from the original length of 0.17 meters.
0.17 - 0.05 = 0.12
The piece of wood is now 0.12 meters long.
To find the length of the piece of wood after sawing off 0.05 meters, subtract 0.05 meters from the original length.
Original length: 0.17 meters
Sawed off length: 0.05 meters
Length after sawing = Original length - Sawed off length
Length after sawing = 0.17 meters - 0.05 meters
Calculating: 0.17 - 0.05 = 0.12
Therefore, the piece of wood is now 0.12 meters long.
To find the length of the piece of wood after sawing off a portion, you need to subtract the length that was sawed off from the original length of the wood.
Original length of the wood = 0.17 meters
Length sawed off = 0.05 meters
To find the length of the wood now, subtract 0.05 meters from 0.17 meters,
0.17 meters - 0.05 meters = 0.12 meters
So, the piece of wood is now 0.12 meters long.
