Answer: the original length was

3 1/2 cm longer than the length of the dragon

Step-by-step explanation:

The original length of the paper is

6 cm. Mia folds the 6 cm piece of into a dragon that is 2 1/2 cm long. Converting 2 1/2 cm to decimal, it be comes 2.5cm

To determine How much longer the original paper was than the dragon, we would determine difference in length between the original paper and the dragon. It would be

6 - 2.5 = 3.5 = 3 1/2 cm
