Since we know the length of the green ribbon, use that information backwards to find the length of the other ribbons.

Since the blue ribbon is 48 centimeters shorter than the green ribbon, then the length of the blue ribbon is:

$235\operatorname{cm}-48\operatorname{cm}=187\operatorname{cm}$

Since the red ribbon is 21 centimeters longer than the blue ribbon, then its length is equal to:

$187\operatorname{cm}+21\operatorname{cm}=208\operatorname{cm}$

Therefore, the length of the red ribbon, is:

$2\text{ meters and }8\text{ centimeters}$
