and white striped blanket for her bed.

There are 7 pink stripes and 6 white

stripes. Each stripe is 8 inches wide.

How wide is Alyssa's blanket? Explain.

Answer 1

104 Inches

Explanation:

Alyssa's blanket contains 7 pink stripes and 6 white stripes.

Total Number of Stripes =7+6=13

Since each stripe is 8 inches wide.

The width of Alyssa's blanket will be the product of the number of stripes by the width of each stripe.

Therefore:

Width = 13 X 8 Inches =104 Inches

Alyssa's blanket is 104 Inches wide.
