Answer 2

a) 5

b) here we are given width 16m and length 20m

so we need to cut square towels from a piece of cloth that is 20×16

first, we will cut a square towel having dimensions as 16×16

Now we are left with a cloth having dimensions of 4×16 in which we will be able to cut 4 towels of dimensions 4×4

Therefore, we will have 4 square towels, one of dimensions 16×16 and four of dimensions 4×4.
