Answer 1

1680 cm

Explanation:

100 cm = 1 meter

Malik's arts and crafts shop has a bolt of crimson velvet 32 meters long.

1 m = 100 cm

32 m = x cm

Cross Multiply

x = 32m × 100cm

x = 3200cm

A customer came in during the morning and bought 120 centimeters of the velvet.

Another customer bought an additional 14 meters during the afternoon.

1 m = 100cm

14m = x cm

x cm = 14 m × 100cm

x cm = 1400cm

How much crimson velvet does Malik's shop have left?

3200cm - (1400 + 120)cm

3200 cm - 1520cm

= 1680 cm
