A roll of wrapping paper measures 25 inches by 405 in the box is being wrapped at 16 in x 14 in x 6 in how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper
To calculate the area of the wrapping paper, we need to multiply the length and width of the paper:
Area of wrapping paper = 25 inches * 405 inches = 10,125 square inches.
Now, let's calculate the surface area of the box that will be covered by the wrapping paper:
Surface area of the box = (2 * 16 inches * 14 inches) + (2 * 16 inches * 6 inches) + (2 * 14 inches * 6 inches)
= 448 square inches + 192 square inches + 168 square inches
= 808 square inches.
To find out how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper, we divide the area of the wrapping paper by the surface area of the box:
Number of complete boxes = Area of wrapping paper / Surface area of the box
= 10,125 square inches / 808 square inches
= 12.5.
Since we cannot have a partial box, only 12 complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper.
