To find the length of the piece of wood after sawing off 0.05 meters, we subtract 0.05 from the original length of 0.17 meters.
0.17 - 0.05 = 0.12
The piece of wood is now 0.12 meters long.
A carpenter bought a piece of wood that was 0.17 meters long. Then he sawed 0.05 meters off the end. How long is the piece of wood now?
