Answer 3

B 11 centimeters 8 millimeters
C 12 centimeters 6 millimeters

Answer 4

aint it 10?

Answer 5

Yes, I already know the answer.

Answer 6

its 10

Answer 7

right

Answer 8

Yes. There are 10 mm in a cm.

So what you have to do is borrow a cm from "27 cm" and add those 10 mm to the "2 mm".

And what would that give you?

Answer 9

see I don't get it

Answer 10

im just dumb

Answer 11

Subtract 1 cm from 27 cm. What doe that give you?

Answer 12

26

Answer 13

Correct!

Now that 1 cm is 10 mm, right? so you would add that 10 mm to the 2 mm. And what does that give you?

Answer 14

is that right, btw im not dumb it just takes me longer to understand things

Answer 15

is it 12

Answer 16

Yes, it's correct...

And yes, 12 is also correct!

So now we have 27 cm, 2 mm written as 26 cm, 12 mm.

These two lengths are identical.

So now that you have enough millimeters to work with, all you have to do now is subtract
15 cm, 6 mm from 26 cm, 12 mm.

And what does that give you?

Answer 17

can u plz tell me the answer cuz I have to go

Answer 18

IOW, subtract 15 cm from 26 cm, and that will give you the centimeters part.

Then just subtract 6 mm from 12 mm and that gives you the millimeter part.

Answer 19

its 11 cm 6 mm
