Question

Ty needs to cut strips of wrapping paper that are each 9 inches wide. if Ty has 2 rolls of wrapping paper that are each 15 feet long, how many 9-inch strips can he cut?

Answer 1

Find the total length in inches of one of the rolls:
15*12=180 inches.

Now multiply the length of one roll (180 inches) by 2 to find the total length:
180*2=360 inches.

Divide by the width of the strips to find the total number of strips:
360/9=40 strips
