Please help this math question is kinda confusing to me just a little bit. Please explain. Thanks

Step-by-step explanation:
Add both lengths and you see the overlap thats 12 cm so subtract that to get the length.
Answer:
1.94 m
Step-by-step explanation:
1 meter=100cm
Then we need to convert the two lengths which is 135 cm and 83 cm
so then since it is overlap we multiply by two 12 cm*2= 24 cm
Then we add 135 and 83= 135+83 = 218 cm
218 cm - 24 cm = 194 cm
So then 194 cm to m = 1.94 m
