Well you need first 1 2/4 of a yard. Then you will need 5/6 of a yard. But first you need to put them together. So we need to find the common denominator. Six and four both share which multiple? Twelve. So let's rewrite that. You need 1 6/12 yards + 10/12 yards of wrapping paper. But before we do anything else we need to fix the mixed number. 1 6/12 isn't as easy to add ad 18/12 is. So 18/12 + 10/12 = 28/12
That can simplify as well. Now it's 14/6 which is equivalent to the fraction we had before. But it can also go down to 2 2/6. Now we can simplify it even further. By dividing it by two we can get 2 1/3. These are the measurements we need. So you would need how many thirds? Seven. (2 1/3 is seven thirds) This is your final answer.

You would need to have seven peices of wrapping paper cut to wrap both gift boxes.

What is the area of this composite figure?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

249 centimeters squared

Step-by-step Explanation:

The area of the rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.

= 15.5 x 18

= 279

Area of the smaller rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.

= 4 x 7.5

= 30

We do not need this 30.

Area of the shaded region:

= 279 - 30

= 249 cm²
