Question

Carrie has 2 meters of ribbon. She cuts off pieces of ribbon that are 5/10 meter, 1/10 meter, and 7/10 meter. How long is the remaining piece of ribbon?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{7}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Carrie has 2 meters of ribbon. She cuts off pieces of ribbon that are 5/10 meter, 1/10 meter, and 7/10 meter

Lets add all the cut of pieces and subtract it from 2 meters

$\frac{5}{10} +\frac{1}{10}+\frac{7}{10}=\frac{13}{10}$

Now we subtract 13/10 from 2 meters

$2 - \frac{13}{10}$

To subtract , make the denominator same

$\frac{2*10}{1*10} - \frac{13}{10}=\frac{20}{10} - \frac{13}{10}=\frac{7}{10}$

7/10 meter is the remaining piece of ribbon
