Answer 2

Answer:

375 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Length of bigger sheet = 1.5 m = 1.5 \times 100 = 150 cm}\\\\\text{Breadth of bigger sheet = 60 cm}\\\\\text{Area of bigger sheet = 150 \times 60 = 9000 cm}^2\\\\\text{Now, length if smaller piece = 6 cm}\\\\\text{Breadth of smaller piece = 4 cm}\\\\\text{Area of smaller piece = 6 \times 4 = 24 cm}^2\\\\\text{No. of pieces that can be cut out = } \dfrac{\text{Area of bigger sheet}}{\text{Area of smaller piece}}\\\\\\= \dfrac{9000}{24}\\\\\\= \large \underline{375 \: pieces.}$
