Question

Min wants to make 100 name tags with ribbon attached to them. Each name tag requires 5 centimeters of ribbon. She has 3.25 meters of ribbon. Exactly how many more centimeters of ribbon does Min still need to make 100 name tags

Answer 1

3.25 meters = 325 cm

325cm / 5 cm= 65 name tags with the ribbon she has.

She still needs 35 name tags, so 35 × 5 = 175cm cm.

She still needs 175cm of ribbon to make a total of 100 name tags.
