Mathematics Question on Subtraction of Decimals
Tina had 20 m 5 cm long cloth. She cuts 4 m 50 cm length of cloth from this for making a curtain. How much cloth is left with her?
Answer
Total length of cloth = 20 m 5 cm = 20.05 m
Length of cloth used = 4 m 50 cm = 4.50 m
Remaining cloth = 20.05 m – 4.50 m = 15.55 m
Therefore, 15.55 m of cloth is left with Tina.
