Two pieces of 1 m each were cut from a rope 25 cm long. How long are the remaining pieces of the rope?

1. First, we need to convert decimeters to centimeters, and then to meters. To do this, multiply the number by 10 (the number of cm in 1 dm), and then divide by 100 (the number of cm in 1 m). We get:
25 * 10 = 250 (cm) – 25 dm.
250: 100 = 2.5 (m) – at 250 cm.
2. Now we can subtract from the received number the lengths of two cut pieces of rope, each of which is equal to 1 m. We get:
2.5 – 1 – 1 = 0.5 (m) is the length of the remaining part of the rope.
0.5 m = 50 cm = 5 in.
Answer: 5 dm.
