Question

Andy is wrapping gifts for the holidays. He has 3 rolls of wrapping paper that are 18- inches wide and 24- inches long. What is the total area that 3 rolls of wrapping paper could cover?

Answer 1

1296 sq inches

Explanation:

To start, you need to get the total area of each individual roll of wrapping paper. To do this, you need to multiply the length x width, which would be 18 x 24 = 432. Then, you have three rolls so you mutiply that by three, which is 432 x 3 = 1296. You add the unit, and that leaves you with 1296 sq inches.
