Question

Cory has 66.92 centimeters (cm) of wire. He uses 2 pieces of the wire. Each piece he uses is 6.58 cm long. What is the length of the remaining wire, rounded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter?

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the remaining wire is 53.8 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ Cory has 66.92 centimeters of wire

∵ He uses 2 pieces of the wire, each piece he uses is 6.58 cm long

→ Find the length of the two pieces he uses

∵ He uses = 2 × 6.58

∴ He uses = 13.16 cm

∴ The length of wire he uses is 13.16 cm

→ The length of the remaining = the total length - the length he uses

∵ The length of the remaining = 66.92 - 13.16

∴ The length of the remaining = 53.76 cm

→ Round it to the nearest tenth of a centimeter

∴ The length of the remaining = 53.8 centimeters

∴ The length of the remaining wire is 53.8 centimeters
