Question

Sally bought 5 rolls of ribbon to wrap presents. Each roll contains 10.5 meters of ribbon. If each present uses 1.4 meters of ribbon, how many presents can they wrap?

Answer 1

They can wrap 37 presents.

5 rolls of ribbon * 10.5 meters each = 52.5 meters of ribbon total.

52.5/1.4 = 37.5 

We can't wrap half a gift, so we have enough for 37 gifts.
