The length of a large piece of paper was 91.44 centimeters from top to bottom. The diagram shows the lengths of two strips of paper Patricia cut from the large piece of paper. What is the length in centimeters of the remaining part of the large piece of paper from top to bottom?

• 73.66 cm

• 61.2 cm

• 40.64 cm

• 50.8 cm

Answer explanation

To find the remaining length, subtract the lengths of the two strips from the total length of 91.44 cm. If the strips total 40.64 cm, then 91.44 - 40.64 = 50.8 cm remains, which is the correct answer.
