Question

Dora uses a 0.35 meter length of ribbon for each bracelet she makes. She makes 4 bracelets.

How many meters of ribbon does she use? Which of the following grids models the problem?

Answer 1

Dora uses 1.4 meters of ribbons to make four bracelets.

Explanation:

The length of ribbon required to make one bracelet is, l = 0.35 m.

The number of bracelets made by Dora is, n = 4.

Compute the total length of ribbons used to make the four bracelets as follows:

Total length of ribbons = length of on bracelet × number of bracelets

`=l* n\\\\=0.35* 4\\\\=1.40\ \text{m}`

Thus, Dora uses 1.4 meters of ribbons to make four bracelets.
