Have a great day!

Answer 2

3.6 cm or 36mm

Explanation:

So we know that there are 10 millimetres in a centimetre. So we can convert the 18cm into millimetres to make it easy to subtract

18cm*10=180mm

now take the pencil length subtracted by the length of the pen.

180mm-144mm=36mm

now if you want the answer in cm, convert it by dividing the answer by 10

36/10=3.6cm
