Subtraction of Lengths
To subtract we arrange the given lengths in columns of ‘m’ and ‘cm’
or ‘km’ and ‘m’ and then subtract separately.

Word Problems
Example 1 :-
From a roll of electric cable 80 m long , a piece of length 37 m 5 cm
is used . How much cable is left in the roll ?

Solution :- Total length of cable = 80 m

Length of cable used = 37 m 5 cm
Remaining Length = 80 m – 37 m 5 cm
= 42 m 95 cm .
m cm
8 0 0 0
_ 3 7 0 5
___________________________
42 9 5

Example 2 :-
How much is 19 m 83 cm less than 50 m ?

Solution :- The required difference = 50 m – 19 m 83 cm

m cm
50 0 0
- 1 9 8 3
____________________________________
3 0 1 7
_____________________________________
Hence 19 m 83 cm is 30 m 17 cm less than 50 m.
Ex – 12 D
1. A tailor needs 1m 75cm of cloth for a pair of trouser and 2m
35cm for a shirt. What total length of cloth does he need?
Length of the cloth for trouser = 1m 75cm
Length of the cloth for shirt = 2m 35cm
Total length = 4m 10cm
m cm
1 75
+ 2 35

2. A building with a flagstaff has the length of 19m 75cm. If the
height of flagstaff is 5m 15cm, find the height of the building?
Total height of the building with flagstaff = 19m 75 cm
Height of flagstaff = 5m 15cm
Height of the building = 14m 60cm
m cm
19 75
