Question

Rosy has 40 m long ribbon. From this, she distributes 60 pieces of ribbon, sach of length 52 cm among some children. What is the length of the remaining ribbon?

Answer 1

Rosy has a total of 40 meters of ribbon, which is equivalent to 4000 centimeters (1 meter = 100 centimeters). She distributes 60 pieces of ribbon, each measuring 52 centimeters.

To calculate the total length of ribbon distributed, we multiply the length of each piece by the number of pieces: 60 * 52 = 3120 centimeters.

To find the length of the remaining ribbon, we subtract the distributed length from the total length: 4000 - 3120 = 880 centimeters.

Therefore, the length of the remaining ribbon is 880 centimeters.

Answer 2

To find the length of the remaining ribbon after distributing 60 pieces of ribbon, each of length 52 cm, you can use the following calculation:

Total length of ribbon = 40 meters = 4000 cm (since 1 meter = 100 cm)

Length of each piece of ribbon distributed = 52 cm

Number of pieces distributed = 60

Total length of distributed ribbon = Length of each piece * Number of pieces Total length of distributed ribbon = 52 cm/piece * 60 pieces = 3120 cm

Now, to find the remaining length of the ribbon, subtract the total length of distributed ribbon from the initial total length of the ribbon:

Remaining length of ribbon = Total length of ribbon - Total length of distributed ribbon Remaining length of ribbon = 4000 cm - 3120 cm = 880 cm

So, Rosy has 880 cm of ribbon remaining after distributing 60 pieces of ribbon, each of length 52 cm.
