From a 1 meter ribbon, Ericka cut 2/4 meter for her hat and another 1/4 meter for her bag. How long was the remaining piece?

Correct answer:

x =  0.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} r=1\text{ m } \\ h={\displaystyle \frac{2}{4}}={\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}=0.5 \\ b={\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}=0.25 \\ x=r-h-b=1-0.5-0.25={\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}={\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}\text{ m}=0.25\text{ m} \end{gathered}$$
