Question

A spool of thread contains 140 meters of thread. How many 70 centimeter pieces of thread can be cut from the​ spool?

Answer 1

200

Explanation:

First, convert 140 meters to cm.

140 m * (100 cm)/m = 14,00 cm

Now divide the length of the spool in cm by the length of each piece.

(14,000 cm)/(70 cm) = 200
