Hello and Welcome to OpenStudy! :)

are there options for this?
Orlando's poster would equal   (1- 0.55) meters
Amanda's poster would equal   0.85 meters
the difference between the two lengths would be represented as
0.85 - (1-0.55) = ?

1-0.55=orlando's poster. then, difference between Orlando's poster and  Amanda is            o.85-(1-0.55)=0.85-0.45

the answer would be 0.4 because u subtract 1 from 0.55 and u will 0.45 and then u will take 0.45 from 0.85 and will 0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
