Answer 1

..............................

38.50

Answer 2

$38.5

Explanation:

First we need to convert 250 centimeters to meters:

250 cm = 2.5 m

To find how much did Mimi pay for the fabric, we can use a rule of three:

One meter of fabric costs $15.40, so what is the cost of 2.5 m?

1 m -> 15.4

2.5 m -> x

x = 15.4 * 2.5 = $38.5

Mimi will pay $38.5 for the 250 centimeters of fabric.
