Marisol has 486 square inches of wrapping paper
to cover a gift box. what is the side length of the
largest size box she can use to wrap a gift?

85 remainder of 1

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: Start by setting it up with the divisor 5 on the left side and the dividend 426 on the right side

Step 2: The divisor (5) goes into the first digit of the dividend (4), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top

Step 3: Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (5 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.

Step 4: Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (4 - 0 = 4) and write the answer below. Then Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (2)

Step 5: The divisor (5) goes into the bottom number (42), 8 time(s). Therefore, put 8 on top, Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (5 x 8 = 40) and write that answer at the bottom

Step 6: Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (42 - 40 = 2) and write the answer at the bottom. Then Move down the last digit of the dividend (6)

Step 7: The divisor (5) goes into the bottom number (26), 5 time(s). Therefore put 5 on top .Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (5 x 5 = 25) and write the answer at the bottom

Step 8: Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (26 - 25 = 1) and write the answer at the bottom.
