Answer:

25 presents.

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract 2.7(4) from 30.

30 - 2.7(4) = 19.2 meters

Now, convert 19.2 into centimeters.

There's 100cm in 1m, so 19.2 meters can be found by doing:

19.2 x 100 = 1920 cm.

Now, do 1920 divided by 75:

1920/75 = 25.6

Since you can't tie 0.6 of a present, you disregard that. So, she can tie 25 presents.
