Question

Sabeena had 15 3/4m long ribbon. She cut into two pieces such that the length of one pieces is 9 1/2m. Find the length of other pieces.

Answer 1

Answer:

$6\frac{1}{4}m$.

Step-by-step explanation:

She has a total of $15\frac{3}{4}m$ long ribbon. If she cuts into two pieces and one of the pieces is $9\frac{1}{2}m$. Then to find the lenght of the other piece we substract:

$15\frac{3}{4}m-9\frac{1}{2}m = 15-9 \ and \ \frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2} = 6\frac{1}{4}m$.

Answer 2

Answer:

6 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the ribbon= 15 3/4 m= 63/4 m

One piece= 9 1/2 m= 19/2 m

Other piece length =X

X= 63/4-19/2

  =63/4-38/4

  =25/4

  =6 1/4
