What is the measurement of a standard size paper clip in cm and how many clips would have a total length of 2500 cm?

A standard size paper clip typically measures about 3.0 cm in length.

To determine how many paper clips would make a total length of 2500 cm, you can use the formula:

Number of clips = Total length / Length of one clip

Substituting in the values:

Number of clips = 2500 cm / 3.0 cm = 833.33

Since you can’t have a fraction of a clip in this context, you would need 833 paper clips to reach a total length of 2499 cm, and you would be just one centimeter short of 2500 cm.

So, to summarize, you can fit 833 standard paper clips into a length of 2500 cm.
