Marge cut 16 pieces of tape for mounting pictures on poster board. Each piece of tape was 3/8 inch long. How much tape did Marge use?

You simply multiply the quantity (16 pieces) by the length of each piece (3/8 inches). Your answer will be in inches.

=16 * 3/8
=(16*3)/8
=48/8
=6 inches

Marge needs 6 inches of tape total.

Hope this helped!! :)
