Answer 1

Given:

Malik's arts and crafts shop has a bolt of crimson velvet 32 meters long.

Velvet purchased by first customer = 120 centimeters

Velvet purchased by second customer = 14 meters

To find:

The remaining velvet in Malik's shop.

Solution:

We know that,

1 meter = 100 cm

Using this conversion, we get

32 meter = 3200 cm

14 meter = 1400 cm

Now,

Remaining velvet in Malik's shop = (3200 - 120 - 1400) cm

                                                    = 1680 cm

Therefore, the remaining velvet in Malik's shop is 1680 cm.
