Answer:
Amy can only wrap 7 wooden storage boxes with her wallpaper.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Area of One box</u>
A wooden Storage Box has Six (6) rectangular faces: Front, Back, Top, Bottom, Left and Right face.
Front Area (L x B) = Back Area = 5 ft x 7 ft = 35 ft²
Top Area (L x B) = Bottom Area = 6 ft x 7 ft = 42 ft²
Left Area (L x B) = Right Area = 5 ft x 6 ft = 30 ft²
Add up all the areas = 35 + 35 + 42 + 42 + 30 + 30 = 214 ft²
Area of One box = 214 ft²
Since; Amy has a total of 1498 ft² of wallpaper
To know how many boxes the wallpaper can wrap: How many 214 ft² can be found in 1498 ft².
= 1498 ft² ÷ 214 ft²
= 7 boxes
