Question

A piece of rope is $$10 m$$ $$67 cm$$ long. Another rope is $$16 m$$ $$32 cm$$ long. By how much is the second rope longer than the first one?

Answer 1

Given
Length of one rope $$= 10 m 67 cm$$
Another rope length $$= 16 m 32 cm$$
The difference between the two rope lengths can be calculated as below
$$= 16 m 32/ 100 cm – 10 m 67/100 cm$$
$$= 16.32 m – 10.67 m$$
We get,
$$= 5.65 m$$
$$= 5 m 65 cm$$
Therefore, the length of second rope longer than the first rope by $$5.65 m$$
