Question
A ribbon is 3 metres long. I need 8 pieces of ribbon each 40 cm long. How many centimetres shorter is the ribbon than the length I need?
Solution
1 piece of 40 cm, so for 8 pieces ribbon needed is 40 × 8 = 320 cm.
But ribbon is 3 metre = 300 cm long.
So ribbon is shorter by 320 – 300 = 20 cm.
