Answer 1

To determine how many presents Evren can wrap with 112 centimeters of tape, we first need to find out how much tape is used per present.

1. Calculate the tape used per present:
   Evren used 24 centimeters of tape to wrap 3 presents.
   Thus, the tape used per present is: \[ \text{Tape per present} = \frac{24 \text{ cm}}{3 \text{ presents}} = 8 \text{ cm per present} \]

2. Calculate how many presents can be wrapped with 112 centimeters of tape:
   Next, we need to find out how many presents Evren can wrap with 112 centimeters of tape. We can use the amount of tape needed per present that we just calculated: \[ \text{Number of presents} = \frac{112 \text{ cm}}{8 \text{ cm per present}} = 14 \text{ presents} \]

Therefore, Evren would be able to wrap 14 presents with 112 centimeters of tape.
