A certain package requires 3 centimeters of tape to be closed securely. What is the maximum number of packages of this type that can be secured with 6 meters of tape?

Correct answer: C. 200

  • A. 100
  • B. 150
  • C. 200
  • D. 300

Explanation

Choice C is correct. Multiplying each side of 1 meter = 100 cm by 6 gives 6 meters = 600 cm. Each package requires 3 centimeters of tape. The number of packages that can be secured with 600 cm of tape is 600/3, or 200 packages.
