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

8 answers

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

Ms.Sue where did u get 1.5?

Did she mean 2.5

Ohh 18 inches = 2.5 ft

Where did you get the 1.5

I dont understand which one

Apparently my teacher got the answer of 214.5ft^2 and I'm so confused

33 sq feet is correct
