Jack needs 7.58 meters of wood to complete a school project. He buys a 2.25 meter plank of wood and a 3.12 meter plank of wood. How many more meters of wood does Jack need to buy for his school project?

Answer 1

2.21

Explanation:

Total meters of wood = 7.58

first time shopping: 2.25

second time shopping: 3.12

total = 2.25 + 3.12

total = 5.37

How many more meters of wood does Jack need to buy for his school project?

Meters needed = 7.58 - 5.37

Meters needed = 2.21
