To determine how much longer one of Marta's wires is compared to one of Tia's, follow these steps:

Tia's wire: 4 meters and 8 centimeters equals 408 centimeters
So, 408 centimeters divided by 10 equal pieces gives you 40.8 centimeters per piece

Marta's wire: 540 centimeters divided by 9 equal parts results in 60 centimeters per piece

From this, 60 minus 40.8 equals 19.2 centimeters

Thus, the final result shows that Marta's pieces are 19.2 centimeters longer.
