Wayne used 10 centimeters of tape to wrap 5 presents. How much tape will Wayne need in all if he has to wrap 6 presents? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

Hello, Alexis

If she used 10 centimeters of tape to wrap 5 presents

then she needs 2 centimeters of tape to wrap 1 present (10/5 = 2)

she has total 6 presents; 6*2 = 12 centimeters of tape to wrap needed for 6 presents

Hope that helps
