Mehek (mehek14):

what did you get when you subtracted that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.0403 and that is incorrect

Mehek (mehek14):

you subtracted wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See, you have two ribbons, you are given with their lengths... First ribbon length is 2.715 inches. Second ribbon length is 3.154 inches. |dw:1437500111517:dw|

Mehek (mehek14):

3.154 - 2.715

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, as you can see second ribbon is longer than first but how much longer? For that you have to subtract 2.715 from 3.154..

Mehek (mehek14):

it's not 0.0403
