An art teacher has a roll of mural paper that is 5 meters long.
She needs to cut it into 1-decimeter long pieces for a collage
project. How many 1-decimeter pieces can she cut from the
roll of mural paper? Show your work. Explain how you found
your answer.​

Respuesta :

Answer: 50

"deci" means tenth, so "decimeter" means "tenth of a meter"

0.10 meter = 1 decimeter

1 meter = 10 decimeters (multiply both sides by 10)

5 meters = 50 decimeters (multiply both sides by 5)

The teacher can get 50 pieces out of the roll of paper
