Question 1141261: Good Afternoon,
I'm having a little trouble trying to figure out this problem:
The width of a sheet of toilet paper is 9.9 cm
Cindy's height is 157.48 cm
The length around the top of Cindy's shoulders is 38 cm.
Think about how to use these three numbers to determine how many meters of toilet paper is needed to create Cindy as a Mummy.
Thank you

start with how many rows of toilet paper are need
:
157.48 / 9.9 = 15.9 is approximately 16
:
each row is 38 cm long
:
38 * 16 = 608cm is 0.6m
:
0.6m is the maximum estimate of how much toilet paper is needed
