Question

An art student uses a roll of wallpaper to decorate two gift boxes. The student will use 1 1/5 yards of paper for one box and 9/10 yard of paper for the other box. The paper must be cut into pieces that are 1/10 yard long. How many pieces will the student cut out to use for the gift boxes?

Answer 1

Answer:

21 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/5 + 9/10 =

6/5 + 9/10 =

12/10 + 9/10 =

21/10.......this is the amount of paper used

the paper will be cut into pieces that are 1/10 yards long...

(21/10) / (1/10) =

21/10 * 10/1 =

21 <==== so the student is gonna need 21 one tenth pieces
