how many stickers does she need to cover the box?

Question

For a craft project, Addi is covering all sides of a box with stickers. The length of the box is 8 inches, the width of the box is 6 inches, and the height of the box is 4 inches. If each sticker measures 2 inches wide by 4 inches long, how many stickers does she need to cover the box?

Answer 1

2(8x6+8x4+6x4) = 2(48+32+24) = 2(104 =208 in^2

2x4 = 8 in^2

208/8 = 26 stickers

12 for the two 8x6 sides

8 for the two 8x4 sides

6 for the two 6x4 sides

12+8+6=26
