Identify Given Information: Identify the given information and what needs to be calculated.We are given that the electrician needs 8,000 centimeters of electrical tape and that each roll contains 2,000 centimeters of tape. We need to calculate the number of rolls the electrician should order.
Determine Operation: Determine the mathematical operation needed to solve the problem.To find out how many rolls of tape are needed, we divide the total amount of tape required by the amount of tape on each roll.
Perform Division: Perform the division to calculate the number of rolls. 8,000cm (total tape needed) ÷2,000cm (tape per roll) =4 rolls
