Question

Paul cuts apples into cubes with a height of 1 1 fraction bar 3 in. He then coats the apples in caramel. Hiw much area is covered in caramel

Answer 1

Ok so since we don't know how many cubes are covered, I will solve for how much area was covered on 1 cube
cube has 6 faces, all squares
area of square=side^2
therefor surface area (area covered by carmael)=6 times side^2
side=1 and 1/3
convert 1 and 1/3 to imporoper
1 and 1/3=1+1/3=3/3+1/3=4/3

Surface Area=6 times side^2
SA=6(4/3)^2
SA=6(16/9)
SA=96/9
SA=10 and 6/9
SA=10 and 2/3

answer is 10 and 2/3 in^2 is covered per cube
(if you are given a number of cubes, multiply 10 and 2/3 in^2 by number of cubes)
