To find the length of the white part of the pole, we can subtract the length of the grey part from the total length of the pole.
The total length of the pole is 2 meters, and the length of the grey part is \( \frac{3}{5} \) meters.
First, convert 2 meters into a fraction with a denominator of 5 to make the subtraction easier:
\[ 2 \text{ meters} = \frac{2 \times 5}{1 \times 5} = \frac{10}{5} \text{ meters} \]
Now, subtract the length of the grey part from the total length:
\[ \text{Length of white part} = \text{Total length} - \text{Length of grey part} \]
\[ = \frac{10}{5} - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{10 - 3}{5} = \frac{7}{5} \text{ meters} \]
Thus, the length of the white part is \( \frac{7}{5} \) meters, which is equal to 1.4 meters.
