Answer:

20 presents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given it takes 2.5meters of wrapping paper per present

That’s

2.5 meters = 1 present

Number of presents wrapped by Tim if he had 50 meters of wrapping paper ?

Let the number be A.

So,

50 meters = A

Therefore ,

2.5 meters = 1 present

50 meters = A

Cross multiply

A x 2.5 = 50 x 1

Divide both sides by 2.5

A x 2.5/2.5 = 50/2.5

A = 20

Tim would wrap 20 presents if he had 50 meters of wrapping paper
