Problem

Jackson's paintbrush makes a narrow strip with a width of 6.5 millimeters. Jackson has enough paint to make a strip long. How many square centimeters of paper could Jackson paint?

$\textbf{(A) } 162,500 \qquad\textbf{(B) } 162.5 \qquad\textbf{(C) }1,625 \qquad\textbf{(D) }1,625,000 \qquad\textbf{(E) } 16,250$

Solution 1

6.5 millimeters is equal to 0.65 centimeters. 25 meters is 2500 meters. The answer is $0.65 \times 2500$, so the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(C) 1,625}}$.
