Iwill use fancy gold and red wrapping paper for two packages i have to wrap. i will use 1 2/4 yard of paper for one of the boxes and 5/6 for the other box. the paper must be cut into pieces that are 1/3 yard long. how many pieces will i cut to use for the gift boxes.

Well you need first 1 2/4 of a yard. Then you will need 5/6 of a yard. But first you need to put them together. So we need to find the common denominator. Six and four both share which multiple? Twelve. So let's rewrite that. You need 1 6/12 yards + 10/12 yards of wrapping paper. But before we do anything else we need to fix the mixed number. 1 6/12 isn't as easy to add ad 18/12 is. So 18/12 + 10/12 = 28/12
That can simplify as well. Now it's 14/6 which is equivalent to the fraction we had before. But it can also go down to 2 2/6. Now we can simplify it even further. By dividing it by two we can get 2 1/3. These are the measurements we need. So you would need how many thirds? Seven. (2 1/3 is seven thirds) This is your final answer.

You would need to have seven peices of wrapping paper cut to wrap both gift boxes.

Well let’s see here we need nuts and more nuts and probably more nuts so why not‍♂️

Step 1: 6x-10=1; step 2: 6x=11
