Question

Baldwin is making a banner for his little brother's birthday party. He tapes together 4 pieces of construction paper. Each piece of paper is 300 millimeters long. How many meters long is Baldwin's banner?

Answer 1

1.2 meters

Explanation:

First we would need to know how many millimeters is in a meter.

1 Meter = 1000 millimeters

Now lets solve the problem.

If each piece of construction paper is 300 millimeters long, and there is 4 pieces of paper, then we can use an equation that looks like this:

300 × 4 = 1200

Now we can convert this into meters.

1200 ÷ 1000 = 1.2

His banner is 1.2 meters long.
