From a rope $11 \mathrm{~m}$ long, two pieces of lengths $2 \frac{3}{5} \mathrm{~m}$ and $3 \frac{3}{10} \mathrm{~m}$ are cut off. What is the length of the remaining rope?
Length of the rope when two pieces of lengths $2 \frac{3}{5} \mathrm{~m}$ and $3 \frac{3}{10} \mathrm{~m}$ are cut off $=$ Total length of the rope - Length of the two cut off pieces
$\therefore 11-\left(2 \frac{3}{5}+3 \frac{3}{10}\right)$
Now,
$2 \frac{3}{5}+3 \frac{3}{10} \Rightarrow\left(2+\frac{3}{5}\right)+\left(3+\frac{3}{10}\right)$
LCM of 5 and 10 is 10 , i.e., $(5 \times 1 \times 2)$.
We have:
$\frac{(13 \times 2)+(33 \times 1)}{10}$
$=\frac{26+33}{10}$
$=\frac{59}{10}$
$\therefore 2 \frac{3}{5}+3 \frac{3}{10}=\frac{59}{10}$
Length of the remaining rope $=11-\frac{59}{10}$
$=\frac{110-59}{10}$
$=\frac{51}{10}$
$=5 \frac{1}{10} \mathrm{~m}$
Therefore, the length of the remaining rope is $5 \frac{1}{10} \mathrm{~m}$.
