I am making a Valentine's Day card
and I need to buy lace to glue on the outside edge around the card (we
call that the perimeter). My card is in the shape of a rectangle
and measures 5 inches on one side and 10 inches on the other
side. Lace sells for 25 cents a foot. How much will
it cost me to buy lace for my valentine card?
How much lace will I have left over?
Show your work.
For 4th and 5th grades: I made a larger card that is 13 inches by 28 inches. Because I need more lace than the smaller card above, I decided to buy the lace that sells for 59 cents a yard. How much will it cost me to buy lace? How much lace will I have left over?
