Edith will be handing out school spirit ribbons in class on Monday. She needs 70 ribbons that are each 20 cm long — a total of 1,400 cm of ribbon — but the fabric store only sells ribbons by the meter. How many meters of ribbon does Edith need?

100 centimeters equals one meter. Take 1400 centimeters and divide it by 100 to find out how many meters there are. You should come up with 14.
