A roll of wrapping paper measures 25 in. × 405 in. The boxes being wrapped are 16 in. × 14 in. × 6 in. How many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper?(1 point)
To find how many boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper, we need to find the area of the wrapping paper and the volume of each box.
The area of the wrapping paper is the product of its length and width: 25 in. x 405 in. = 10,125 sq. in.
The volume of each box is the product of its length, width, and height: 16 in. x 14 in. x 6 in. = 1,344 cu. in.
To find the number of complete boxes that can be wrapped, we divide the area of the wrapping paper by the volume of each box:
10,125 sq. in. / 1,344 cu. in. = <<10125/1344=7.53>>7.53
Since you cannot have a fraction of a box, you can wrap 7 complete boxes with one roll of wrapping paper.
