Read the six sentences and track the space, the first board and the shorter board.
The idea
The space is sixty centimetres wide. The first board measures seventy centimetres, so Deniz looks for a shorter one. The second is fifty-five centimetres; the difference between sixty and fifty-five is five centimetres.
