Answer: $15

Explanation:

Jasmine needs 300 centimeters

$5 each meter

The first step you need to do is convert 300 centimeters to meters, because it’s $5 for each meter.

(You can use the King Henry Chart to help you)

So, 1 centimeter is 1/100 meter

How much is 300 centimeters in meters?

300x1/100

= 300/100

=3

300 cm= 3m

Now, there is $5 for each meter.

How much does it cost for 3 meters?

= 5x3

= $15

It will cost her $15
