Answer: The new length is: (y - x) metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a piece of string that is y metres long, and we cut x metres of strings from it, then the new length of the string will be equal to the difference between the initial length and the amount that we cut off.

So the initial length is y metres.

We cut x metres.

The new length is: (y - x) metres.

Can u help with these two

The volume of a rectangular prism can be given by the form
$V= b*h*w$

you know Volume, base, and height but you dont know width

so divide b and h to both sides
$\frac{V}{b*h} = w$
and you cna solve for width

now for 6.
dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal

$n \div 6 = n * \frac{1}{6}$
