**How many 3-dm pieces of ribbon can be cut from a 10-m piece of ribbon?**

To determine how many 3-decimeter (dm) pieces of ribbon can be cut from a 10-meter (m) piece of ribbon, we first need to convert meters into decimeters. 

Since \( 1 \text{ meter} = 10 \text{ decimeters} \), a 10-meter ribbon is:

\[
10 \times 10 = 100 \text{ decimeters}.
\]

Next, we divide the total length of the ribbon (in decimeters) by the length of each piece:

\[
\frac{100 \text{ dm}}{3 \text{ dm/piece}} = 33 \text{ pieces with } 1 \text{ dm left over}.
\]

Thus, 33 full 3-dm pieces can be cut, with 1 dm of ribbon remaining.
