To find the length of the piece of string that you had left, subtract the lengths of the three pieces you cut off from the original length.
Original length: 300 cm
Length of the first piece cut off: 97 cm
Length of the second piece cut off: 53 cm
Length of the third piece cut off: 112 cm
Length of the string left = Original length - Length of the first piece - Length of the second piece - Length of the third piece
= 300 cm - 97 cm - 53 cm - 112 cm
= 300 cm - 262 cm
= 38 cm
Therefore, the length of the piece of string that you had left is 38 cm.
Original length: 300 cm
Length of the first piece cut off: 97 cm
Length of the second piece cut off: 53 cm
Length of the third piece cut off: 112 cm
Length of the string left = Original length - Length of the first piece - Length of the second piece - Length of the third piece
= 300 cm - 97 cm - 53 cm - 112 cm
= 300 cm - 262 cm
= 38 cm
Therefore, the length of the piece of string that you had left is 38 cm.
