Glenn can make 30 ribbon key chains.

Answer: There are 30 1-meter pieces of ribbon he can cut.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of ribbon = 3

Length of each ribbon = 1 decameter

So, we know that

[tex]1\ decameter=10\ meter[/tex]

So, Total length of 3 pieces of ribbon is given by

[tex]3\times 10\\\\=30[/tex]

So, Number of 1- meter pieces of ribbon he can cut is given by

[tex]\frac{30}{1}=30[/tex]
