Question

Mrs.Marin is sewing costumes for the play. Each costume requires 38 centimeters of blue ribbon. If she makes 50 costumes, how

many meters of ribbon dose she need

Answer 1

Answer: To find out how many meters of ribbon Mrs. Marin needs, we first need to convert the required length of 38 centimeters per costume to meters.

1 meter = 100 centimeters, so we divide 38 by 100:

38 cm / 100 cm/m = 0.38 m

So each costume requires 0.38 meters of ribbon.

To find the total amount of ribbon needed for 50 costumes, we multiply the amount of ribbon per costume by the number of costumes:

0.38 m/costume * 50 costumes = 19 meters

So Mrs. Marin needs 19 meters of blue ribbon for the 50 costumes.
