Calculate Total Tape Needed: To solve this problem, we need to determine how many rolls of tape the electrician should order to have 8,000 centimeters of electrical tape, given that each roll contains 2,000 centimeters of tape.We will use division to calculate the number of rolls needed.The expression to represent the number of rolls needed is:Total amount of tape needed ÷ Amount of tape in each roll8,000cm÷2,000cm per roll
Perform Division Calculation: Now, we perform the division to find out the number of rolls. 8,000cm÷2,000cm per roll =4 rollsThis calculation tells us that the electrician needs to order 4 rolls of tape to have a total of 8,000 centimeters of electrical tape.
