Question

9. What is the maximum number of equal squares of the biggest possible size that can be cut out of a piece of cardboard 48 cm broad and 64 cm long? What would be the length of each square?​

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM (48, 64) = 16. Thus, to get the biggest possible size - each side of the square to be cut should be 16 cm. Number of squares can be obtained = {(48 cm * 64 cm) / (16 cm * 16 cm)} = (3 * 4) = 12. Since,we have to cut maximum number of square of same sizes out of the cardboard.
