Answer:
The shop had 1680 cm left of velvet.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem we need to convert all the measurements to the same length unit, since there are two measurements in meters and one in centimetres we will convert the last one to meter. To do that we need to divide by 100 as shown below:
[tex]m_1 = 120 \text{ cm} = 1.2 \text{ m}[/tex]
To calculate the quantity of velvet left we need to subtract what was bought from the original amount, so we have:
[tex]\text{velvet left} = 32 - 1.2 - 14\\\text{velvet left} = 16.8 \text{m}[/tex]
Since the problem wants the answer in cm, we need to multiply the found value by 100, we have:
[tex]\text{velvet left} = 16.8*100 = 1680\text{ cm}[/tex]
The shop had 1680 cm left of velvet.
