To find out how much wrapping paper it takes to wrap two gifts, we need to determine the fractional amount of wrapping paper required for one gift and then multiply it by two.
Given that Rodney needs 3/4 of a roll of wrapping paper for 5 gifts, we can find how much wrapping paper is required for one gift by dividing 3/4 by 5.
3/4 รท 5 = (3/4) * (1/5) = 3/20
So, it takes 3/20 of a roll of wrapping paper to wrap one gift.
To find out how much wrapping paper it takes to wrap two gifts, we multiply the fractional amount required for one gift by 2.
(3/20) * 2 = 3/10
Therefore, it takes 3/10 of a roll of wrapping paper to wrap two gifts.
