Answer:

Natasha can wrap 128 gifts in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve the question

∵ Natasha has 240 square feet of wrapping paper

∵ Natasha can wrap 8 gifts with 15 square feet

→ By using the ratio method

→  Gift  :  square feet

→   8     :  15

→   x      :  240

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ x × 15 = 8 × 240

∴ 15x = 1920

→ Divide both sides by 15

∵ x = 128

∵ x represents the number of gifts

∴ Natasha can wrap 128 gifts in total
