Answer:
19.2 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Tia cut a 4 meter and 8 centimeter wire, converting this measure to centimeters
[tex]4m + 8 cm = 400cm + 8cm =408 cm[/tex]
and she cut it into 10 equal pieces, thus each piece measures:
[tex]\frac{408cm}{10}=40.8cm[/tex].
Martha has a wire of 540 centimeter wich she cutted into 9 equal pieces, so each piece measures:
[tex]\frac{540cm}{9} =60cm[/tex]
The difference between the two wires is:
[tex]60cm - 40.8cm=19.2cm[/tex]
