Answer 1

Answer:

16.32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step here is to identify the longest and shortest ropes and to set aside the medium-length rope for a moment.

The lengths are, in ascending order, 243.38 cm, 241.6 cm and 264.7 cm.

To answer this question, subtract the shortest length (243.38 cm) fromt the longest (264.7 cm):

 264.7 cm

- 248.38 cm

-------------------

     16.32 cm is the difference in length between the longest and the shortest piece of rope.
