The Solution:
The correct answer is 13.26 centimeters.
Explanation:
Given that Jason has 29 yards of ribbon, and he plans to make 200 bookmarks.
We are asked to find the approximate length (in centimeters) of each bookmark.
Step 1:
Convert 29 yards to centimeters.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Recall:} \\ \text{ 1 yard = 91.44 centimeters} \end{gathered}[/tex]So,
[tex]29\text{ yards = 29}\times91.44=2651.76\text{ centimeters}[/tex]Step 2:
To get the length of each bookmark, we shall divide 2651.76 by 200.
[tex]\text{ Length each bookmark = }\frac{2651.76}{200}=13.2588\approx13.26\text{ centimeters}[/tex]Therefore, the correct answer is 13.26 centimeters.
