2 1/4 meters of wire and she use 1/3 of this what length of the wire is left
To find out how much wire is left, we can subtract the length that was used from the total length.
1/3 of 2 1/4 meters is (1/3) * (9/4) = 9/12 = 3/4 meters.
Now, we subtract 3/4 meters from the total length:
2 1/4 meters - 3/4 meters = (9/4) - (3/4) = 6/4 = 1 1/2 meters.
Therefore, 1 1/2 meters of wire is left.
To find the length of the wire that is left, we need to subtract the amount that was used from the total length of the wire.
First, we need to convert the mixed number 2 1/4 to a proper fraction:
2 1/4 = (2*4 + 1)/4 = 9/4
So, the total length of the wire is 9/4 meters.
Next, we need to find 1/3 of this length:
(1/3) * (9/4) = 9/12 = 3/4
Therefore, 1/3 of the wire is 3/4 meters.
To find the length of the wire that is left, subtract 3/4 from 9/4:
9/4 - 3/4 = (9-3)/4 = 6/4 = 3/2
So, there are 3/2 meters of wire left.
To find out how much wire is left, we need to subtract the amount of wire used from the total length of the wire.
First, let's convert 2 1/4 meters to a mixed fraction:
2 1/4 meters = 9/4 meters
Next, let's determine how much wire was used. If 1/3 of the wire was used, we need to calculate:
(1/3) * (9/4)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(1/3) * (9/4) = (1 * 9) / (3 * 4) = 9/12
Now, let's simplify the fraction:
9/12 can be reduced to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 3.
Finally, to find out how much wire is left, we subtract the fraction used from the total length of the wire:
9/4 meters - 3/4 meters = 6/4 meters.
However, 6/4 can be simplified further. We can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2:
6/4 meters = (6 ÷ 2) / (4 ÷ 2) = 3/2 meters.
Therefore, there are 3/2 meters of wire left.
