A piece of bamboo is 2 1/4 m long. Jessie cuts 1 1/3 m to be used for making some kites and another piece 3/4 m long to be given to his friend how long is the remaining piece of bamboo?

To find the remaining length of the bamboo, we need to subtract the lengths Jessie cut from the original length of the bamboo.

The original length of the bamboo is \(2 \frac{1}{4}\) meters. We can convert this mixed number to an improper fraction:

\[
2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \text{ meters}
\]

Jessie cuts two pieces from the bamboo:
1. The first piece is \(1 \frac{1}{3}\) meters. Converting this to an improper fraction:

\[
1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \text{ meters}
\]



Learn how to calculate the remaining length of bamboo after cuts in this math problem solution. Jessie cuts 1 1/3 meters for making kites and 3/4 meter to give to a friend from a bamboo that was originally 2 1/4 meters long. Suitable for students in Grades 3-5.
