Question

Sarah is wrapping the rectangular prism box for her Valentine. She calculated how many square meters of wrapping paper she would need. Explain her error and give the correct amount of wrapping paper she would need.

Answer 1

She probably was supposed to multiply, instead of add.

Explanation:

First multiply 24 and 32, which is 768.

Second multiply 768 and 12, which is 9216

9216 is the answer.
