Question

Ricardo has 3 rolls of tape. Each roll has 8 and 1 third feet of tape. It takes 2 and 2 thirds feet of tape to close a box completely.

What is the total number of boxes that Ricardo can completely close using these 3 rolls of tape?

Answer 1

9 boxes your welcome

Answer 2

Answer: 9 boxes

Step-by-step explanation: multiplying the 8 and one third by the number of tape rolls gets you 25, then divide that by 2 2/3 to get an answer of 9.375, and because you cant colse the box with the extra .375, you have to round down, getting you to your answer of 9.
