Answer:

252

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the equation, you first need to note that it asks for surface area.

To find surface area, you use an input formula, known as SA=2lw+2lh+2hw. 'H' stands for height, 'L' stands for length, and 'W' stands for width.

Since the current height is 12, the current length is 6, and the width is 3, you need to plug them into the equation.

SA=2(6)(3)+2(6)(12)+2(12)(3)

SA=252

Quick tip! It's tempting to just multiply them all at once, but using the power of distribution is vital to solving these equations.

A novel is 11/16 inch thick. If there are two shelves, each 99 inches wide, how many novels will be able to fit on the two shelv

34kurt

First let's just combine the shelves to make it easier. 99 + 99 = 198.

We can simply divide 198 by 11/16 to get the answer. First let's convert 11/16 to a decimal.

11 divided by 16 is 0.6875

So 198 divided by 0.6875 is 288.

288 novels can fit on both the shelves.
