Question 970667: Please Help me solve-
Gina is tying up a stack of newspapers with string. She wants the string to
wrap around twice, once lengthwise and once crosswise. If the stack of
newspapers is 11 inches wide, 13 inches long, and 15 inches high, how much
string will she need?
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The papers are to be covered lengthwise, which is 2 lengths AND two heights.
She wants it crosswise, which is 2 widths and 2 heights.
We add them.
2 lengths=13*2=26 inches
2 widths=11*2=22 inches
4 heights=15*4=60 inches
She needs 108 inches of string.
