    Minimum of 12 rolls of wrapping paper

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Before we can calculate the minimum amount of rolls of wrapping paper that Petrich needs for all four presents, we need to know the volume of each box wrapped.

    For box with dimension

    - 8.5" * 14.5" * 1.5"

    Volume = 185.875in³

    For box with dimension

    - 9.5" * 14.5" * 2"

    Volume = 275.5in³

    For box with dimension

    - 11" * 16" * 3"

    Volume = 528in³

    For box with dimension

    - 15.5" * 12" * 4"

    Volume = 744in³

    If a standard roll of wrapping paper is 30" long with nine feet (three yards) of paper

    Number of rolls needed for all four boxes = Total volume of all boxes/standard roll

    Total volume of boxes = 185.87+275.5+528+744

    = 1733.37in³

    Dimension of standard roll = 30in+9feet

    Since 1foot = 12inches

    9feet = 9*12 = 108inches

    Dimension of standard roll = 30+108

    = 138inches

    Number of rolls needed for all four boxes = 1733.37/138

    = 12.56

    Approximately 12 rolls of wrapping paper is needed by Petrich for all the four boxes.
