William used 15 cm of tape to wrap 3 presents. Find the length of tape to wrap for 1 present?


Sagot :

3 presents = 15cm of tape

1 present = 15 divided by 3 = 5cm of tape

William used 5cm of tape to wrap 1 present.

Answer:

The length of tape to wrap = 5 cm

Tape length            Number of presents
