To find the length of the wire that is left, we need to subtract the amount that was used from the total length of the wire.
First, we need to convert the mixed number 2 1/4 to a proper fraction:
2 1/4 = (2*4 + 1)/4 = 9/4
So, the total length of the wire is 9/4 meters.
Next, we need to find 1/3 of this length:
(1/3) * (9/4) = 9/12 = 3/4
Therefore, 1/3 of the wire is 3/4 meters.
To find the length of the wire that is left, subtract 3/4 from 9/4:
9/4 - 3/4 = (9-3)/4 = 6/4 = 3/2
So, there are 3/2 meters of wire left.
