Stacy wants to make 100 name tags with ribbons ATTACHED TO THEM. each name tag requires 5 centimeter of ribbon. SHE HAS 3.25 meters of ribbon. exactly how many more centimeters of ribbon does stacy still need to make 100 name tags

Answer 1

Each meter has 100 centimeters. With just 1 meter, you can make 20 name tags with ribbons. So in order to make all of the name tags, you need 5 meters. 5 - 3.25 = 1.75. You need 1.75 more meters of ribbon to make all 100 of the name tags with ribbons.
