Question

You have 4.6 metres of rope, you cut off 3 tenths of a metre and 4 hundredths of a metre off the rope how long is the rope now

Answer 1

After cutting off 0.3 meters and 0.04 meters from the original 4.6 meters of rope, the remaining length is 4.26 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

You started with 4.6 meters of rope. To find the remaining length after cutting, first calculate the total length you are removing by adding 3 tenths of a meter (0.3 meters) and 4 hundredths of a meter (0.04 meters) together:

0.3 meters + 0.04 meters = 0.34 meters

Now, subtract this total from the original length of the rope:

4.6 meters - 0.34 meters = 4.26 meters

Therefore, after cutting off the specified lengths, the rope is now 4.26 meters long.
