Given that ribbon cost $0.21 per centimeter, if Kaia bought 50 millimeters of ribbon for wrapping gifts, she will pay $9.45.
How much did Kaia pay for the ribbon?
Given that;
- 1 ribbon cost $0.21 per centimeter
- She bought 450 millimeters of ribbon
First we convert 450 millimeters to centimeters
1 centimeter = 10millimeters
Hence,
She bought 450 millimeters of ribbon = 45 centimeters of ribbon
Now,
1 cm of ribbon = $0.21
45 cm = y
We cross multiply
y = 45 × $0.21
y = $9.45
Therefore, given that ribbon cost $0.21 per centimeter, if Kaia bought 50 millimeters of ribbon for wrapping gifts, she will pay $9.45.
