abby has a ribbon that was 1 meter long..she cut off 25 centimeters..how long is the ribbon now??
1 meter = 100 centimeters
100 - 25 = _______ centimeters
75cm
To find the length of the ribbon after cutting off 25 centimeters, you need to subtract 25 centimeters from the original length of 1 meter.
First, let's convert 1 meter to centimeters. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can multiply the length by 100.
1 meter * 100 centimeters/meter = 100 centimeters
Now, we can subtract 25 centimeters from the total length.
100 centimeters - 25 centimeters = 75 centimeters
Therefore, the length of the ribbon after cutting off 25 centimeters is 75 centimeters.
