Question

1. a ribbon is 5.2 m long. you cut off 1.86 m, then another 0.75 m. how much ribbon is left? _ m

Explanation:

Step1: Find total length cut off

To find the total length cut off, we add the two lengths that were cut. So, we calculate \(1.86 + 0.75\).
\(1.86+0.75 = 2.61\)

Step2: Subtract from original length

The original length of the ribbon is \(5.2\) m. To find the remaining length, we subtract the total length cut off from the original length. So, we calculate \(5.2 - 2.61\).
\(5.2 - 2.61=2.59\)

Answer:

\(2.59\)
