Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the cuboid are 5 cm, 7 cm and 9 cm.

The formula for the surface area of the cuboid is as follows :

$A=2(lb+bh+hl)$

We have,

b = 9 cm, l = 7 cm and h = 5 cm

So,

$A=2(9\times 7+9\times 5+7\times 5)\\\\A=2\times 143\\\\A=286\ cm^2$

Jamie forgets to multiply 143 by 2 as the formula for surface area contains 2 as well.

viva [34]

If a ratio of skiers and snumboarders is 1:2, and if there are 1250 snowboarders more than skiers, it means that is that there 2500 snowboarders and 1250 skiers.

How to check it? 2500 is 1250 more than 1250 and the ratio is still 1:2 (there are two times more snowboarders than skiers). Both conditions are fulfiled, so it's correct.
