Question

Answer 1

Answer: 55 cm

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to convert the meters into centimeters.

Since: 1 m = 100 cm

We have to multiply the length of the first frame by 100 to express the length in cm.

9/10 m x 100cm/m = 90 cm

Finally, since she needs 35 centimeters less wood for a second frame, we have to subtract 35 cm to the amount of woof needed for the first frame.

90-35 = 55 centimeters.
