Jasmine needs to purchase 4.5 meters of decorative tape for a project. If each roll of tape contains 60 centimeters, how many rolls of tape does Jasmine need to purchase to have enough tape for the project?
Jasmine needs 4.5 meters of tape, which is equal to 450 centimeters (since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters).
If each roll of tape contains 60 centimeters, Jasmine needs to divide 450 by 60 to find out how many rolls of tape she needs to purchase.
450 / 60 = 7.5
Therefore, Jasmine needs to purchase 8 rolls of tape to have enough tape for the project.
