Julie printed out a picture of each of the five members of her favorite band to decorate her bedroom door. Each picture measures 4
inches by 6 inches. Once decorated, how many square inches of Julie's door will be
covered by these pictures?
OA. 96 square inches
OB. 120 square inches
OC. 100 square inches
OD. 144 square inches



Answer :

To determine how many square inches of Julie's door will be covered by the pictures, we need to follow a series of steps:

1. Calculate the area of one picture:
Each picture measures 4 inches in width and 6 inches in height. The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its width by its height.
[tex]\[ \text{Area of one picture} = \text{width} \times \text{height} = 4 \text{ inches} \times 6 \text{ inches} = 24 \text{ square inches} \][/tex]

2. Calculate the total area covered by all the pictures:
Julie has a total of 5 pictures. The total area covered by these pictures is found by multiplying the area of one picture by the number of pictures.
[tex]\[ \text{Total area covered} = \text{area of one picture} \times \text{number of pictures} = 24 \text{ square inches} \times 5 = 120 \text{ square inches} \][/tex]

So, the total area covered by the pictures on Julie's door is 120 square inches. Therefore, the correct answer is:

OB. 120 square inches
