Question

Elisse has 20 meters of ribbon how many 15 cm of ribbon can be cut from it

Answer 1

Answer:

133 pieces of 15cm can be cut from the ribbon.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Length of ribbon = 20 meters

Length needed to be cut = 15 cm

We will convert meters into centimeters.

1 meter = 100 cm

20 meters = 2000 cm

Number of pieces = $\frac{2000}{15}$

Number of pieces = 133.33

Rounding off to nearest whole number = 133

Hence,

133 pieces of 15cm can be cut from the ribbon.
