A roll of wrapping paper measures 25” x 4 05 inches the boxes being wrapped are 16” x 14” x 6” how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper
To calculate how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper, we need to determine how many boxes can fit on the roll in each dimension.
For the length dimension:
Divide the length of the wrapping paper (25 inches) by the length of a single box (16 inches):
25 inches / 16 inches = 1.5625
So, there can be 1 complete box in the length dimension.
For the width dimension:
Divide the width of the wrapping paper (405 inches) by the width of a single box (14 inches):
405 inches / 14 inches = 28.9286
So, there can be 28 complete boxes in the width dimension.
For the height dimension:
Divide the height of the wrapping paper (405 inches) by the height of a single box (6 inches):
405 inches / 6 inches = 67.5
So, there can be 67 complete boxes in the height dimension.
To find the maximum number of complete boxes that can be wrapped, we take the minimum value of the three dimensions: 1 box.
Therefore, with one roll of wrapping paper, you can wrap 1 complete box.
