Question

A straight line is drawn across 4 x 4 chessboard. What is the greatest number of 1 x 1 squares this line can pass through?

Answer 1

16 is the no.of squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the chess board =4×4unit²=16unit²

Area of squares=1×1unit²=1unit²

So, no. of squares can be fitted =16/1=16

Answer 2

Given Data:

A Straight line drawn across $=4 \times 4$ chessboard.

To Find:

Calculate the greatest number of $=1 \times 1$square fitted in a line.

Step –by- Step Explanation:

Step 1:

Area of the chess board $=4 \times 4$ \text { unit }^{2}

$=16 \text { unit }^{2}$

Step 2:

Area of squares $=1 \times 1 \text { unit }^{2}$

                        $=1 \text { unit }^{2}$

Step 3:

Therefore the number of squares can be fitted $=\frac{16}{1}=16$

Step 4:

Result:

So, the line passes through $1 \times 1$  the greatest number of  square is 16.
