An electrician was hired to run the wires for a

surround-sound stereo speaker system. She
purchased 2 rolls of 14-gauge speaker wire.
Each roll contains 4 m of wire. For each of
2 speakers, 2 ft. of wire are required. For each of
the other 2 speakers, 11 ft. of wire are required.
Will the electrician have enough wire? If your
answer is no, what length of wire in centimetres
will she need? If your answer is yes, what length
of wire in centimetres will be left over?

Can't figure this one out. The wording is too confusing.

Need to convert meters to feet.

4m = 13.12 feet

She has two rolls.

2 * 13.12 = 26.24

She needs the amount below to connect the speakers.

2*2 + 2*11 = ?

Convert discrepancy from feet to cm.

1 foot = 30.48 cm
2 x 4 m = 8m 26.25 ft. - 4 ft - 22 ft = 0.25 ft.
8m = 800 cm,
800 cm = 314. 96 in., 0.25 ft = 7.5 cm,
314.96 in. = 26. 25 ft,

Therefore, their will be approximately 8 cm of wire left over.
