Let the length of another piece of wire be x.

Thus,                   x\ +\ \frac{1}{4}\ =\ \frac{7}{8}

    x\ =\ \frac{7}{8}\ -\ \frac{1}{4}

        =\ \frac{7\times 4\ -\ 1\times 8}{32}\ =\ \frac{20}{32}

        =\ \frac{10}{16}\ =\ \frac{5}{8}

Hence the length of other part is  \frac{5}{8}\ m .
