Question

Tia cut a 4-meter 8 centimeter wire into 10 equal pieces Marta cut a 540-centimeter wire into 9 equal pieces how much longer is one matar's wires than one of tia's?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets separate both wires.

Tia's wire is 408 centimeters long. This is because 1 meter = 100 centimeters. This meter will be cut into 10 equal pieces. To do that, simply divide 408 by 10.

408 / 10 = 48 centimeter long pieces

Marta's wire is 540 centimeters long. This meter will be cut into 9 equal pieces. Like before, we will divide 540 by 9.

540 / 9 = 60 centimeter long pieces

To conclude, one of Marta's wires are 12 centimeters longer than Tia's.
