Do it Step By Step

Answer 1

a; 175 centimeters

Explanation:

One meter is 100 centimeters

this means that 3.25 meters is essentially just 325 centimeters

if she wants to make 100 name tags she must do 100 times 5 to get how many centimeters of ribbons she needs

100 * 5 = 500

she only has 325 centimeters so you subtract 325 from 500

500 - 325 = 175
