Answer 2

The length of the stamp is 4.89 mm longer than the width of the stamp

Explanation:

One of the stamps in Evelyn's stamp collection is 19.51 mm wide and 24.4 mm long. How much longer is the length of the stamp than the width of the stamp?

To find how much longer the length of the stamp is than the width of the stamp, we will simple subtract the width of the stamp from the length of the stamp

That is;

Length of the stamp - width of the stamp

24.4 mm - 19.51 mm = 4.89 mm

Therefore the length of the stamp is 4.89 mm longer than the width of the stamp
