To process the bottom of the dress, a tape with a length of 4m 15 cm was required, by how many centimeters a tape with a length of 5 meters should be shortened to get a piece of the desired length.

In order to find how many centimeters you need to shorten the tape from the initial length of the tape, subtract the length of the tape, which is needed to process the bottom of the dress:

4 m 15 cm = 415 cm;

5 m = 500 cm;

500 – 415 = 75 (cm).

Answer: it is necessary to shorten the tape by 75 cm in order to get a piece of the desired length.
