Subtraction of length

Subtraction

Examples

Find the difference

(i) \(75 \text{ km } 500\text{ m} - 40 \text{ km } 250\text{ m}\)

Difference = 35 km 250 m

(ii) \(55 \text{ km } 75 \text{ cm} - 23\text{ m } 40\text{ cm}\)

Difference = 32 m 35cm

Try this

Subtract the following

(1) \(1075 \text{ km } 400\text{ m} - 27 \text{ km } 350 \text{ m}\) = 1048 km 50m

(2) \(250 \text{ m } 25\text{ cm} - 127\text{ m } 18\text{ cm}\) = 123 m 07 cm

(3) \(27 \text{ km } 900\text{ m} - 18\text{ km } 850 \text{ m}\) = 9km 050 m
