From a piece of cloth measuring 4M 25 cm,a piece of 75 cm cloth is cut...
**Solution:**
To find the length of the remaining piece of cloth, we need to subtract the length of the cut-off piece from the total length of the cloth.
**Given:**
Length of the cloth = 4M 25cm
Length of the cut-off piece = 75cm
**Conversion:**
1 meter (M) = 100 centimeters (cm)
So, 4M = 4 x 100cm = 400cm
**Calculation:**
Total length of the cloth = 400cm + 25cm = 425cm
To find the length of the remaining piece of cloth, we subtract the length of the cut-off piece from the total length of the cloth:
Remaining length of the cloth = Total length of the cloth - Length of the cut-off piece
Remaining length of the cloth = 425cm - 75cm
**Subtraction:**
To subtract the lengths, we need to align the digits in the same place value column:
```
425
- 75
______
```
Starting from the rightmost column, we subtract 5 from 5, which gives us 0. We then subtract 7 from 2, which is not possible. Therefore, we need to borrow 1 from the leftmost column (4). This makes the 4 become 3, and the 2 becomes 12. Now, we can subtract 7 from 12, which gives us 5. Finally, we subtract 0 from 3, which gives us 3.
Hence, the length of the remaining piece of cloth is 350cm.
**Conclusion:**
The length of the remaining piece of cloth is 350cm.
From a piece of cloth measuring 4M 25 cm,a piece of 75 cm cloth is cut...
Total Length= 4m 25 cm= (1m=100 cm; 4m=4×100 cm)
= 425 cm
Length cut. = 75 cm
Remaining length= 425 - 75 cm = 350 cm
Remaining Length in meters and cms.: 3 m 50 cm
Ans: The remaining length of cloth left is 3m 50 cm/350 cm
