Question

Glenn needs to cut pieces of ribbon that are each 1 meter long to make ribbon key chains. If he has 3 pieces of ribbon that are each 1 dekameter long, how many 1-meter pieces of ribbon can he cut?

Answer 1

A dekameter is = to 10 meters,
10x3=30
30÷1=30
Glenn can make 30 ribbon key chains.

Answer 2

Answer: There are 30 1-meter pieces of ribbon he can cut.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of ribbon = 3

Length of each ribbon = 1 decameter

So, we know that

`1\ decameter=10\ meter`

So, Total length of 3 pieces of ribbon is given by

`3* 10\\\\=30`

So, Number of 1- meter pieces of ribbon he can cut is given by

`(30)/(1)=30`
