There was a 6 square foot piece of wrapping paper for a birthday present. It takes 3 3/8 square feet pg the paper to wrap the present. How many pieces of 6 square foot paper are needed to wrap 3 of these presents?
Please help me. I tried dividing. Please anyone!
6 - 3 3/8 = 5 8/8 - 3 3/8 = 2 5/8 remaining
Since the remaining portion is too small to wrap another present, you would need 3 pieces.
However, if you combined two 2 5/8 pieces for one present, you would only need 2 pieces.
