Question

Diana bought a new roll of tape. There were 5.3 yards of tape on the roll. Then Diana used 0.31 yards of the tape to make a collage. How much tape is left on the roll?

​
yards

Answer 1

To find out how much tape is left on the roll, we need to subtract the amount of tape used from the total amount of tape.

Total amount of tape - Amount of tape used = Amount of tape left

So, 5.3 yards - 0.31 yards = 4.99 yards

Therefore, there are 4.99 yards of tape left on the roll.
