You purchase 2.4 meters of nylon cord to make 8 friendship bracelets. How many centimeters are in each bracelet?
A. 0.3 cm
B. 3 cm
C. 7.2 cm
D. 30 cm~~~
To find out how many centimeters are in each bracelet, we need to divide the total length of the nylon cord by the number of friendship bracelets.
First, let's convert the 2.4 meters to centimeters since the answer options are in centimeters. There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter, so we multiply 2.4 meters by 100 to convert it to centimeters:
2.4 meters * 100 = 240 centimeters
Now, we can divide the total length of 240 centimeters by the number of friendship bracelets, 8:
240 centimeters ÷ 8 bracelets = 30 centimeters
Therefore, each friendship bracelet will be 30 centimeters long.
The correct answer is option D) 30 cm.
