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.
