My Math Problem

When wrapping a birthday gift for his mother, Kenji adds an additional 2.5 square feet of gift wrap to allow for overlap. How many square feet of gift wrap will Kenji use to wrap a gift 3.5 feet long, 18 inches wide, and 2 feet high?

My answer is 30.5 square feet
Answered by Ms. Sue
2(3.5 * 1.5) = 10.5
2(1.5 * 2) = 6
2(2 * 3.5) = 14

Your answer is right, but you forgot the overlap.

30.5 + 2.5 = 33 square feet
