Question

Elizabeth has a large piece of paper measuring 98.6 cm by 64.4 cm. What is the greatest number of 8 cm by 5 cm pieces of paper that she can cut to form the large piece of paper?

Answer 1

area of paper = l * b =98.6*64.4=6349.84

area of each piece = l*b=8*5=40

now,

area of paper/area of each piece=158.746=approx. 158

so he can cut 158 pieces from given rectangle

Answer 2

rea of paper = l * b =98.6*64.4=6349.84

area of each piece = l*b=8*5=40

now,

area of paper/area of each piece=158.746=approx. 158
