Math Problem Statement

From 11 M long rope two pieces of length 13 by 5 and 33 by 10cut off what is the length of remaining rope

Solution

To determine the length of the remaining rope, we need to subtract the lengths of the two pieces that were cut off from the original length of the rope.

  1. The original length of the rope is 11 meters.
  2. The two pieces cut off are of lengths 135\frac{13}{5} meters and 3310\frac{33}{10} meters.

Step 1: Convert both fractions to decimals or equivalent fractions.

  • 135=2.6\frac{13}{5} = 2.6 meters
  • 3310=3.3\frac{33}{10} = 3.3 meters

Step 2: Add the lengths of the two cut pieces.

2.6+3.3=5.9meters2.6 + 3.3 = 5.9 \, \text{meters}

Step 3: Subtract the total length of the cut pieces from the original length of the rope.

115.9=5.1meters11 - 5.9 = 5.1 \, \text{meters}

Thus, the length of the remaining rope is 5.1 meters.
