Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step #1: Lacey has 2 3/4 yards of wrapping paper remaining. She has six boxes to wrap, each of which requires 3/8 of a yard of paper. First, you must find the total number of yards of wrapping paper needed for six boxes.

Number of boxes * Number of wrapping paper required for each box

6 x 3/8 = 9/4

Step #2: Subtract the number of yards of wrapping paper remaining by the total number of wrapping for 6 boxes.

2 3/4 - 9/4 = 1/2

Step #3: Determine and solve whether Lacey will have enough wrapping paper left to also wrap a book that requires 1/2 yard of paper. To solve, subtract the remaining amount of wrapping paper by the amount of wrapping required for a book.

1/2 - 1/2 = 0

So, yes Lacey will have just enough wrapping paper to also wrap a book that requires 1/2 yard of paper.
