Glenn needs to cut pieces of ribbon that are each 1 meter long to make ribbon key chains. If he has 7 pieces of ribbon that are each 1 dekameter long, how many 1-meter pieces of ribbon can he cut? Glenn needs pieces.

The number of 1-meter pieces of ribbon Glenn can cut is 70 ribbons

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we note the question is a word problem

Therefore, the number of ribbon that Glenn has = 7

The length of each piece = 1 Dekameter long = 10 m

Total length of ribbon Glenn has = Number of ribbons * Length of one ribbon = 7*10 = 70 m

The number of 1-meter pieces of ribbon he can cut is given by;

Total length of ribbon that Glenn has:Required ribbon length

= 70 m : (1 m) = 70 ribbons

Therefore, Glenn can cut out 70 ribbons from the total length of ribbon he has.

He can cut 70 pieces of ribbon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, 1 decameter is equal to 10 meters. So each piece of ribbon is 10 meters long. Since he has 7, we have to multiply the length in meters of each ribbon (10) by the quantity (7).

10x 7 = 70 meters

He needs to cut pieces of ribbon that are each 1 meter long, so we have to divide the total meters of ribbon that Glenn has (70), by the length of each ribbon asked (1).

70/1 = 70

He can cut 70 pieces of ribbon.
