Question

Sabeena had 15 3/4m long ribbon. She cut into two pieces such that the length of one pieces is 9 1/2m. Find the length of other pieces.

Answer 1

6 1/4

Explanation:

Total length of the ribbon= 15 3/4 m= 63/4 m

One piece= 9 1/2 m= 19/2 m

Other piece length =X

X= 63/4-19/2

=63/4-38/4

=25/4

=6 1/4

Answer 2

`6(1)/(4)m`.

Explanation:

She has a total of
`15(3)/(4)m` long ribbon. If she cuts into two pieces and one of the pieces is
`9(1)/(2)m`. Then to find the lenght of the other piece we substract:

`15(3)/(4)m-9(1)/(2)m = 15-9 \ and \ (3)/(4)-(1)/(2) = 6(1)/(4)m`.
