Answer:
check your math
Step-by-step explanation:
The first subtraction was correct:
36 -7 3/4 = 28 1/4
The second subtraction needs to be revisited.
28 1/4 -6 2/4 = 27 5/4 -6 2/4 = 21 3/4
__
You can do what you did, but you need to pay attention to the signs.
28 1/4 -6 2/4 = (28 -6) +(1/4 -2/4) = 22 - 1/4 = 21 3/4
The result of subtracting 2/4 from 1/4 is -1/4, not +1/4.
_____
The length of the first cut piece was 21 3/4 inches.
The correct answer for the given question above would be option C. In the metric system, the one that has shown a correct equivalent of measurement is 100 centimeter = 1 meter. And in every 1 centimeter, there is 0.01 meter. The rest of the options are not correct so the answer is C.
Yup! We're all pretty good here.
