Question 83334
Courtney is making 72 cookies. She will make rectangles and cut them into triangles. Each rectangle will be 2 inches by 4 inches.What is the area of each cookie? Is she wants to put icing on them, how many cans will she need if each can will cover 48 square inches?
--------------
Each rectangle is 8 sq inches and make two triangles.
Each cookie will be 4 sq inches.
72 cookies = 36 rectangles = 36*8 sq inches = 288 sq in.
288/48 = 6 cans of icing.
