Divide both fractions to make them a decimal or whole number subtract 3.3 - 2.6

3.3 is 33/10

2.6 is 13/5

You will get 0.7 which is 7/10 of the leftover rope

You would need to subtract 13/5 from 33/10.

Change 13/5 to a denominator of 10 by multiplying by 2/2

(13/5) * (2/2) = (26/10)

(33/10) - (26/10) = 7/10 m
