Question

Presents of equal size are in a boxes each with dimensions of 10 inches length, 4 inches width, and 2 inches height. How many presents can be gift wrapped if you have a roll of 600 square inches of wrapping paper? Show all work

Answer 1

You can make 7.5 gifts presents (or just 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

First I calculated the area of 1 box, which is 80 inches squared. Then I just divided the 600 square inches with the 80 inches. 600/80= 7.5. Therefore, you can make 7 presents (since you cannot wrap half of a present (0.5))

Hope this helps !
