Question

Megan starts with a piece of wood that is 2 meters long. She cuts off two pieces that are each 56 cm long, how long is the piece of wood that is left over in meters?

Answer 1

1 Meter converted to centimeters is 100cm. Which means the piece of wood is equal to 200cm. So if you add the 56cm together you get 112cm. 200 minus 112 is 88, therefore there is .88 meters left of the wood piece.

Answer 2

1.44m

Explanation:

2m=200cm

200cm-56cm=144cm

144cm=1.44m
