Answer:
The length needed to cut off is 12.55 cm
Explanation:
The corrected question is:
you need a piece of paper to measure 64.25 cm. If you tape two together that each measure 38.4 cm, how much do you need to cut off?
Solution:
measurement/length of each paper piece = 38.4 cm
measurement/ length required = 64.25 cm
If length of one paper piece is 38.4 cm then if we tape 2 pieces together then the measurement or length is calculated as:
38.4 + 38.4 = 76.8 cm
So to calculate how much we need to cut off:
length required to cutoff = total length of two pieces - length required
= 76.8 - 64.25
= 12.55 cm
So the length required to cut off is 12.55 cm
