From a cloth of 5 m long, a piece of length 2 m 85 cm is cut off. What is the length of the remaining piece?


Given :

Total length of the cloth = 5 m

A piece of length 2 m 85 cm is cut off.


To find :

We have to find the length of the remaining cloth.


Solution :

We know that,

$1 m = 100 cm$

$The \ length \ of \ the \ remaining \ piece = Total \ length \ - \ Length \ cut \ off$

                                                              $ = 5 m - 2 m 85 cm$

                                                              $ = 5\times100 cm - (2\times100+85) cm$

                                                               $= (500-285) cm$                              

                                                                $= 215 cm$

                                                               $= (200+15) cm$

                                                              $= 2 m 15 cm.$

The length of the remaining piece is $2 m 15 cm$.
