Given:

Total length of tape in roll = 16.8 meters

Length of each piece = 1.125 meters

Number of pieces = 8

To find:

The remaining tape.

Solution:

We have,

Length of 1 piece = 1.125 meters

Length of 8 piece = 8 × 1.125 meters

= 9 meters

Total length of tape in roll = 16.8 meters

Remaining tape = Total length of tape in roll - Length of 8 piece

= 16.8 - 9 meters

= 7.8 meters

Therefore, the length of remaining tape is 7.8 meters.
