Question

There is 2.50m of rope and 11.5 inch pieces are cut. How many centimeters of rope will be left over?

Answer 1

Answer:

16.32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch = 2.54 cm

11.5 inch = 11.5*2.54 = 29.21cm

1 m = 100 cm

2.50 m = 2.5*100 = 250 cm

then:

250/29.21 = 8.56

8*29.21 = 233.68

250 - 233.68 = 16.32

Answer 2

Answer:

1.42 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5 m = 98.4251 inches

98.4251 in / 11.5 in =8.5587

  .5587 inches left over =1.42 cm
