Answer:

Alex can line eight 1-meter wide with the paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Alex has five rolls of shelf paper that is 800cm.

- She wants to use the paper to line the 1-meter wide shelves in her pantry.

- We want to determine how many 1-meter wide she can line with the paper.

- First, we know that

100cm = 1m

- we need to determine how many meters are in 800cm.

100cm = 1m

800cm = xm

100x = 800

x = 800/100

= 8

Therefore, 800cm is equivalent to 8m

Alex can line eight 1-meter wide with the paper.
