Question

A paper is 70 cm long and 50 cm wide. Rahul has to cut small square slips out of it. if the side of each slip is 14 cm then find the number of slips he will be able to cut.​

Answer 1

Length of paper = 70 cm

Width of paper = 50 cm

∴ Area of paper = Length × Width = 70 × 50 = 3500 cm²

Rahul has to cut square slips.

⇒ Length = Width → of each paper slip.

Side of each paper slip = 14 cm

∴ Area of each paper slip = 14 × 14 = 196 cm²

Number of paper slips = $\dfrac{Area \: of \: total \: paper}{Area \: of \: each \: paper \: slip}$

Number of paper slips = $\dfrac{3500}{196} = 17.86$

Answer:

Rahul can cut around 17 paper slips.

Additional Information:
