Question

Lennie wants to decorate a gift box with ribbon. She measures five pieces that she has with a ruler. They are 31.2 cm, 25.62 cm, 28.7 cm, 31.0 cm, and 42.06 centimeters long. Ashley needs 150 cm of ribbon for the box. Does she have enough?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Add up the lengths of the five pieces: 31.2 + 25.62 + 28.7 + 31.0 + 42.06 = 158.58. 158.58 is the total length and is larger than 150, so, yes there is enough ribbon.
