Hope’s mom bakes a cake for hope’s birthday. It is in the shape of a rectangle 10in. long and 6in. wide. If she starts at one corner and puts a candle every 2 inches, how many candles will fit around the edge of the cake?

Answer :

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know the size of 2 edges or sides of the cake 6in and 10in, in a rectangle the opposite sides are the same, so there are 2 6in and 2 10in sides. add them together (6+6+10+10) to get 32in, now divide that by 2(the spacing of the candle) to get 16 candles around the edge.
