Question

Which operations are the most efficient to use to solve the problem and what is the solution?

Lance is making a banner that has an area of 2,046 square centimeters and has a length of 62 centimeters. Evelyn is making a banner that has a width that is 3 times larger than the width of Lance’s banner. What is the width of Evelyn’s banner?

Choose exactly two answers that are correct.
A. 11 cm
B. 99 cm
C. division and multiplication
D. division and division

Answer 1

To find the width of Lance's banner, use division (area divided by length). Then use multiplication to times the width by 3 so you can find Evelyn's banner width. (I assume you know how to multiply and divide, but just comment if you'd like me to show you :) )
