Question

When a sheet size 10 m x 5 m cut into small pieces of 25 cm x 20 cm how many numer of
pieces will be cut:
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

How many 25cm×20cm pieces can you cut from a 1000cm×500cm sheet?

Now, the problem is much simpler. There are at least two strategies that we could use to solve this problem:

ONE:

Calculate the area of the full sheet: 1000cm × 500cm = _______cm²

Calculate the area of one piece: 25cm × 20cm = ______ cm²

Divide one number by the other to get your answer.

Note: This method only works if the sheet’s width and height are integer multiples of a piece’s width and height.

TWO:

Calculate how many piece widths there are in one sheet width:

1000 ÷ 25 = _____ widths

Calculate how many piece heights there are in one sheet height:

500 ÷ 20 = ____ heights

Multiply these two numbers together

Either way, you should get the same answer. What answer did you get?
