Answer 1

= 6m 79cm

1 m = 100 cm

Then:

63 m = 62m + 100cm

Then:

. 62m + 100cm - (56m + 21cm)

= 62m - 56m + 100cm - 21cm

= 6m + 79cm

Answer 2

6.79 m of the ribbon left

Explanation:

We know

Pat has 63 m of ribbon.

She cuts 56 m & 21 cm from it.

What length of ribbon will be left?

21 cm = 0.21 m

So, she cuts 56.21 m of the ribbon.

Then we take

63 - 56.21 = 6.79 m of the ribbon left

So, 6.79 m of the ribbon left.
