Question

Tina had 20 m 5 cm long cloth. She cuts 4 m 50 cm length of cloth form this for making a curtain. How much cloth is left with her?

Answer 1

Length of cloth originally = 20 m 5 cm = 20.05 m (we know that 1 m = 100 cm)
Length of cloth cut for curtain = 4 m 50 cm = 4.50 m

Therefore, length of cloth left with Tina = Length of cloth originally - length of cloth cut for curtain
20.05 - 4.50
= 15.55 m

Length of cloth left with Tina = 15.55 m
