A box is to be wrapped in a shiny pink decorative paper. ​ ​ The box is 99 inches long, 55 inches wide, and 44 inches high. ​ ​ What is the minimum amount of decorative paper needed to cover the box?

24442 square inches of decorative paper

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the above question, we have to find the Surface Area of the box. The box is shaped as a Rectangular Prism.

Hence, the formula is given as:

A = 2(wl + hl+ hw)

Where:

Length (l) = 99 inches

Width (w) = 55 inches

Height (h) = 44 inches

=2 × (55×99 + 44×99 + 44×55)

=24442 square inches

Therefore, the minimum amount of decorative paper needed to cover the box is 24442 square inches of decorative paper.

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
