Question

3 feet of ribbons are needed for wrapping each present. How many presents can be wrapped with 102cm of ribbons?

Answer 1

1 present

Explanation:

3 feet = 36 inches

1 inch = 2.54 cm, so 36 in = 36*2.54cm = 91.44cm

Each present is 91.44 cm, and 102 cm of ribbon can only be used to wrap one present.

The answer is 1 present

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!

Answer 2

1 imperial foot has approximately 30.48 metric centimeters, and for one present we need 3 ft, or namely 3(30.48) cm, how many can we get from 102 cm? 102 ÷ 3(30.48) ≈ 1.1155, so barely just one present.
