Answer:

The 12-meter trailer is 3 meters, 60 cm too long for Darrel to pull

Explanation:

We know Darrel is only licensed to pull a trailer 8 meters+40 centimeters long and the shipping trailer is 12 meters long. It has an excess of length we are required to compute. The difference between those distances is

12 meters - (8 meters+40 cm) = 3 meters+60 cm

The 12-meter trailer is 3 meters, 60 cm too long for Darrel to pull
