a roll of wrapping measures 25 in. x 405 in. the box being wrapped are 16 in. x 14in. x 6 in. how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wtapping paper
To determine how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper, we need to calculate the area of the wrapping paper and the area of each box.
The area of the wrapping paper is calculated by multiplying the length and width:
25 in. x 405 in. = 10125 sq. in.
The area of each box is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height:
16 in. x 14 in. x 6 in. = 1344 sq. in.
To determine how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper, we divide the area of the wrapping paper by the area of each box:
10125 sq. in. / 1344 sq. in. = 7.54
Since we cannot have a fraction of a box, we can wrap a maximum of 7 complete boxes with one roll of wrapping paper.
