Question

Jacob has 6.15 meters of rope. He is going to use 1.2 meters of rope to tie up his boat. How many centimeters of rope does he have left?

Answer 1

495 cm

Explanation:

Remark

When you do the subtraction, whatever is left (the decimal part) is the length in cm when multiplied by 100.

Solution

Remaining rope = starting length - what was used.

Remaining rope = 6.15 - 1.2

Remaining rope = 4.95 meters

Answer

The remaining rope = 4.95 * 100 = 495 cm
