Question

If you cut 3 rectangles of paper into strips that equal 1/5 of the area of each rectangle, how many strips will you have?

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

For each rectangle, if you have each piece equal to 1/5th area, then you will have 5 pieces.

Thus for 3 rectangle pieces, you will have 3 x 5 = 15 pieces

Answer 2

The number of strips can be form by using 3 rectangles is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the area of each rectangle be A.

The, the area of each strip = $\dfrac{1}{5}A$

Number of strips formed from each rectangle = (area of each rectangle) ÷ (area of each strip)

$A\div\dfrac{1}{5}A=\dfrac{A}{\dfrac{A}{5}}=5$

i.e. Number of strips formed from each rectangle =5

Now , the number of strips can be form by using 3 rectangles = 3 x (Strips formed from each rectangle)

= 3 x 5 =15

Hence , the number of strips can be form by using 3 rectangles is 15.
