Question

Yosai is making a kimono for her father, The belt for the kimono should be one hundred sixty-three centimeters long. She has two meters of fabric. How much fabric will she have left after making the belt? (State your answer in meters.)​

Answer 1

Amount of fabric left = 0.37m

Explanation:

Yosai has 2 meters of fabric, and the belt for the kimono should be 163 centimeters long.

In order to find out how much fabric she will have left after making the belt, we need to calculate the length of fabric used for the belt and then subtract that from the total amount of fabric.

`\sf 1 meter = 100 centimeters`

So, the length of fabric needed for the belt is:

`\sf 163 \, \text{cm} = (163)/(100) \, \text{m} = 1.63 \, \text{m}`

Now, subtract the length of fabric used for the belt from the total amount of fabric:

`\begin{aligned} \textsf{ Remaining fabric } &\sf = \textsf{ = Total fabric - Fabric used for the belt }\\&\sf = 2 m - 1.63 m\\&\sf \approx 0.37 m \end{aligned}`

So, Yosai will have approximately 0.37 meters of fabric left after making the belt for the kimono.
