Question

Tia cut a 4- meter 8-centimeter wire into 10 equal pieces. marta cut a 540-centimeter wire into 9 equal pieces. how much longer is one of marta's wires then one of tia's

Answer 1

If you would like to know how much longer is one of Marta's wires than one of Tia's, you can calculate this using the following steps:

Tia: 4-meter 8-centimeter = 408 centimeters
408 centimeters / 10 equal pieces = 40.8 centimeters per piece

Marta: 540 centimeters / 9 equal pieces = 60 centimeters per piece

60 - 40.8 = 19.2 centimeters

The correct result would be 19.2 centimeters longer pieces.
