Respuesta :

Answer:

4 presents

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of presents Ronald will wrap with 12 centimeters of tape.

To find x, let's set up proportions as shown below;

[tex]\frac{6\operatorname{cm}}{2\text{ presents}}=\frac{12\operatorname{cm}}{x\text{ presents}}[/tex]

Let's cross-multiply;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6\times x=12\times2 \\ 6x=24 \\ x=\frac{24}{6} \\ x=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]
