Kurt used 8 centimeters of tape to wrap 4 presents. How much tape will Kurt need in all if he has to wrap 15 presents? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

To find the amount of tape Kurt needs to wrap 15 presents, we can use a unit rate.

We know that 8 centimeters of tape is needed to wrap 4 presents.

To find the unit rate, we can divide the amount of tape by the number of presents: 8 cm / 4 presents = 2 cm/present.

Now we can find the amount of tape needed to wrap 15 presents.

Using the unit rate, we can multiply the number of presents by the unit rate: 15 presents * 2 cm/present = <<15*2=30>>30 cm.

Therefore, Kurt will need 30 centimeters of tape to wrap 15 presents.
