Kate made a box to hold her jewelry collection. She used 42 inches of wood to build the sides of the box. If the box was 9 Inches wide, how long was the box
Answers
We can use the 9 inches wide to determine that 18 inches of the 42 inches are the wide sides. 42 - 18 = 24, so we divide 24 by how many long sides there are, 2. 24 ÷ 2 = 12. The box was 12 inches long.
