Answer:

15 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion, where x is the number of packages she can wrap with 2.5 rolls of wrapping paper:

[tex]\frac{3}{0.5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{2.5}[/tex]

Cross multiply and solve for x:

0.5x = 7.5

x = 15

So, with 2.5 rolls of wrapping paper, she can wrap 15 packages
