Question

a metal plate measuring in 32 CM by 12 cm is cut into small squares of side length 4 cm how many squares will be cut

Answer 1

24


32 x 12 = 4² x n

n = 24

Answer 2

Dimensions of the plate= 33cm by 12cm
The area of the plate = length × breadth
=33×12
=384cm
Now,area of one square= side×side
=4×4
=16cm
The squares can formed=area of plate/area of square
=384/16
=24
Hence,24 squares can be formed
