Tia cut 4-meter 8-cenimeter wire into 10 equal pieces. Martha cut a 540-centimeter wire into 9 equal pieces. How much longer is one of Marta's wires than one of Tia's?

19.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A meter is equal to 100 centimetres so the total length of Tia's wire in centimetres is:

= 4.08 * 100

= 408 cm

She cuts this into 10 equal pieces:

= 408 / 10

= 40.8 cm

Martha cuts her 540 cm wire into 9 pieces. Each piece is:

= 540 / 9

= 60 cm each

The difference is:

= 60 - 40.8

= 19.2 cm

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
