Sally bought 5 rolls of ribbon to wrap presents. Each roll contains 10.5 meters of ribbon. If each present uses 1.4 meters of ribbon, how many presents can they wrap?

They can wrap 37 presents.

5 rolls of ribbon * 10.5 meters each = 52.5 meters of ribbon total.

52.5/1.4 = 37.5

We can't wrap half a gift, so we have enough for 37 gifts.
