Question

The fabric cost 7cents per square inch. She will only pay for the fabric used to cover the box, even if there is waste or extra. How much money did shyla spend on fabric? Is the box is 7 by 11by 8 inchs

Answer 1

Answer:

Shyla will pay about 63 cents to cover the box

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the box ( l ) = 7 inches

Width of the box (b) = 11 inches

Height of the box (h) = 8 inches

We can solve this equation by following two simple steps.

1. The first step is to find the total surface area of the box. This is the total area that the decorative fabric will be covering.

We can get this by the following formula:

SA=2( length X width) +2( length X height )+2(height X width)

SA = 2( 7 X 11 ) + 2(7 X 8) + 2 (8 X 11 ) = 442 square inches

2. The second step is to divide the total surface area by the price of the fabric per square inch.

This will be 442 square inches divided by 7 cents per square inch  = 63.14 cents

Shyla will pay about 63 cents to cover the box
