Janice is making 12 wooden picture frames to give to her friends this year as holiday presents. Each frame has a length of 10 inches and a width of 8 inches. How many total inches of wood will Janice need for all 12 frames?
P = 2L + 2W
P = (2 * 10) + (2 * 8)
P = 36
36 * 12 = ?
432
To find the total inches of wood Janice will need for all 12 frames, we first need to calculate the perimeter of each frame. The perimeter of a rectangle can be found by adding up all the sides.
Since each frame has a length of 10 inches and a width of 8 inches, the perimeter of one frame would be:
2 * (length + width) = 2 * (10 + 8) = 2 * 18 = 36 inches
Now, to find the total inches of wood needed for all 12 frames, we multiply the perimeter of one frame by the total number of frames:
36 inches * 12 frames = 432 inches
Therefore, Janice will need a total of 432 inches of wood for all 12 frames.
