Question

Camilla cut a piece of string 6 m 50 cm long into 2 pieces One piece is 265 cm long. How long, in meters and centimeters, is the other piece?

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the other piece is 385 cm or 3 m 85 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of the string = 6 m 50 cm

He cut it into 2 pieces.

Length of first piece = 265 cm

6 m 50 cm = 600 cm + 50 cm

= 650 cm

Length of another piece = 650 cm - 265 cm

= 385 cm

or

= 3 m 85 cm

So, the length of the other piece is 385 cm or 3 m 85 cm.
