Answer:

Given,

The ribbon is 5m long.

The length of the piece = 3 ^ 4 / 5 m.

To find,

The length of the remaining piece.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

First of all, we have to convert the length of the cut piece into simple decimal value.

Length of cut piece =3^ 4 / 5 = (3 * 5 + 4) / 5 = 19/5 = 3.8m

Length of the remaining ribbon = Intital length cut length = 5 - 3.8 = 1.2m = 12/10 - m = 6/5 * m = 1 1/5 m

(The final value is also expressed in fractional form)

Hence, the length of the remaining piece is 15m.
