Which operations are the most efficient to use to solve the problem and what is the solution? Lucas is making a banner that has an area of 2,046 square centimeters and has a length of 62 centimeters. Emily is making a banner that has a width that is 3 times larger than the width of Lucas’s banner. What is the width of Emily’s banner? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. division and division 99 cm 11 cm division and multiplication

Answer 1

So, first what we should do is divide 2,046 by 62 to find the width of Lucas's banner.

2,046 / 62 = 33     The width of Lucas's banner is 33 cm.

Which means if the width of Emily's banner is 3x that:

3 x 33 = 99     Emily's banner is 99 cm in width.

So, your 2 answers are: 99 cm, division and multiplication.   ;)
