Answer 2

Given:

To decorate for a party, Simon needs 1,850 centimeters of colourful streamers.

If the ratio of meters to centimeters is 1 : 100

To find:

How many meters of streamers does he require?

Solution:

We have,

$\frac{Meters}{Centimeters} = \frac{1}{100}$

So, to solve the given problem, we can use the unitary method as follows:

If 100 centimeter of colourful streamers are equivalent to 1-meter streamers

Then, 1 centimeter of colourful streamers are equivalent to = $\frac{1}{100}$ meter streamers

∴ 1850 centimeters of colourful streamers will be equivalent to,

= $\frac{1}{100}\times 1850$

= $18.5\:meter\:of streamers$

Thus,  the correct answer → option (C) → Simon would require 18.5 meters of colourful streamers to decorate a party.
