Correct question:-

A cardboard measures 27 cm by 32cm. How many 3 cm squares can be cut off from this card board

Answer:

96 squares of 3 cm can be cut off from the cardboard.

Given :

• Cardboard measures = 27 cm by 32 cm
• Squares measure = 3 cm

To find :

• Number of 3 cm squares can be cut off from the card board.

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{Area of the cardboard = }}}$

 Area = Length × Breadth

⇒ 32 × 27

⇒ 864 cm²

Area of the rectangle = 864 cm².

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{Area of the square = }}}$

Area = Side × Side

⇒ 3 × 3

⇒ 9 cm².

Area of the squares = 9 cm².

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{Number of 3 cm squares = }}}$

Divide the area of the cardboard by the area of each square.

⇒ 864 ÷ 9

⇒ 96

∴ 96 squares of 3 cm can be cut off from the cardboard.
