Ribbon costs $1.25 per meter. What would be the cost of 250 centimeters rounded to the nearest cent? HINT: centimeters to meters before calculating the price

The answer should be $3.125 or $3.13 rounded.

Step-by-step explanation:

First I divided 1.25 by 100 because 1 meter equals 100 centimeters.

1.25 ÷ 100 = 0.0125

Now that we know that it costs 0.0125 for 1 centimeter we multiply it by 250.

0.0125 * 250 = 3.125

Since it says to round to the nearest cent, the answer should be 3.13

Hope this helps! :)
