Question

A piece of fabric 4 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is 1.25 meters long. How much longer is the second piece of fabric?

Answer 1

1.5 meters

Explanation:

4 meters - 1.25 meters=2.75m is the length of the second one.

But when they ask how much longer , I think they want you to compare the two pieces meaning to get the answer you have to take 2.75m-1.25m=1.5m thats how much longer the 2nd fabric is longer than the other one.

hope am right

Answer 2

1.5 meters

Explanation:

the fabric is 4 meters long

first piece is 1.25 meters long

second piece will be (4-1.25)=2.75 meters long

therefore the second piece is (2.75-1.25) meters longer
