Answer 1

519 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the board = 5.28 m

Length cut off = 9 cm

Convert 5.28 m to cm

1m = 100 cm

5.28 m = 528 centimeter

Length of the board = 528 centimeters

Length cut off = 9 cm

How many centimeters long was the board after the carpenter cut it?

Length of the board left = Total length of the board - Length cut off

= 528 centimeters - 9 centimeters

= 519 centimeters
