Answer:
Surface area is found:
Surface Area = 1700 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
(The cereal box is shown in the ATTACHMENT)
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be found by added the areas of all 6 sides of the rectangular prism.
L = length = 20 cm
H = height = 30 cm
W = Width = 5 cm
<h3 /><h3>Side 1:</h3>A(1) = L×H
A(1) = 20×30
A(1) = 600 cm²
<h3>Side 2:</h3>As the measurements of the side at the back of side 1 has the same measurement of side 1. then:
A(2) = 600 cm²
<h3>Side 3:</h3>A(3) = L×W
A(3) = 20×5
A(3) = 100 cm²
<h3>Side 4:</h3>As the measurements of the side at the back of side 4 has the same measurement of side 4. then:
A(4) = 100 cm²
<h3>Side 5:</h3>A(5) = H×W
A(5) = 30×5
A(5) = 150 cm²
<h3>Side 6:</h3>As the measurements of the side at the back of side 5 has the same measurement of side 5. then:
A(6) = 150 cm²
<h3>Surface Area:</h3>Adding areas of all the sides
A(1) + A(2) + A(3) +A(4) + A(5) + A(6) = 600 + 600 + 100 +100 + 150 +150
Surface Area = 1700 cm²

The team ran 2 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; The track is miles long and the team ran 2
laps on it. To calculate the distance run we multiply the number of laps ran with the distance on each lap.
Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap.
Step 2; We convert 2 from a mixed fraction into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number with the denominator of the fraction and add with it the numerator of the same fraction whereas the denominator remains unchanged. To convert the fraction 2
= ((2 × 3) + 2) / 3 =
.
Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap = ×
=
= 2 miles.
