Petra fills a small cardboard box with sand. The dimensions of the box are 3 inches by 4 inches by 2 inches. Petra decides to cover the box by gluing on wrapping paper. How much wrapping paper does she need to cover all six sides of the box?

24 in

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x 4 x 2

(We are assuming that this is for the volume of the whole box.)

3 x 4 = 12

12 x 2 = 24

24 in for the whole volume of this box.

In case you are figuring out the measurements for one side:

24/6 = 4

4 in for one side.

And, if that is for just 4 sides, then you would multiply by 2 more.

So:

3 x 4 x 2 x 2

24 x 2 = 48 in     If the original formula was for just 4 sides.

x = -2

y = 848

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
