Rachael has a rope 5 m 32 cm long that she cut into two pieces. One piece is 249 cm long. How many centimeters long is the other piece of rope?

Respuesta :

1 m = 100 cm, so 5 m = 500 cm plus the 32 cm, so she has a rope that is 532 cm long.

532 - 249 = 283 cm

So the other piece of rope is 283 cm long.
