Given:
Dean started a yarn with 5 meters. He used 300millimeters of yarn each day for 5 days.
Required:
Find how many meters of yarn Dean has left.
Explanation:
We know that 1 meter = 1000milimeters
Dean used meters of yarn in the five days
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{300\times5}{1000} \\ =\frac{3}{2}\text{ meter} \end{gathered}[/tex]The left meters are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =5-\frac{3}{2} \\ =\frac{10-3}{2} \\ =\frac{7}{2} \\ =3.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer:
Thus 3.5 meters of yarn left
