Answer:

He can cut 80 pieces of ribbon.

Explanation:

Mickey needs to cut pieces of ribbon that are each 1 meter long to tie onto balloons.

He has 8 pieces of ribbon that are each 1 dekameter long.

1 dekameter = 10 meter

8 dekameter = 10 × 8 = 80 meter

He has 8 pieces of 10 meters ribbon now he needs 1 meter long pieces

Therefore, He can cut 10 ribbons from 1 dekameter piece of ribbon

From 8 pieces = 10 × 8 = 80 pieces.

He can cut 80 pieces of ribbon.
