Emma has a spool of ribbon that has 5 meters on it. she cut a length of ribbon that was 0.9 meters long. then she cut another length that was 1.5 meters long. how much of the ribbon is left on the spool?

2.6 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

5-0.9 is 4.1, minus 1.5 is 2.1.

2.6 meters left

Step-by-step explanation:

One way you can solve this problem is by putting it into an equation and finding the difference.

The equation would be 5 - 0.9 - 1.5 = ?

5 - .9 = 4.1

4.1 - 1.5 = 2.6

therefore, 2.6 meters of ribbon will be left on the spool.

F (2-3) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped.
