Question

1. Clare has a piece of paper that is 8 inches by 10 inches. How many pieces of paper

Answer 1

Answer:

The paper is 80ft^2 so your answer would be 80 / 2n

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

2^n pieces

80 / (2^n) in²

Step-by-step explanation:

If she cuts the paper in half 1 time, she will have 2 pieces.

If she cuts the paper in half 2 times, she will have 4 pieces.

If she cuts the paper in half 3 times, she will have 8 pieces.

So the pattern is 2^n.

The original area is 80 in².  Divided by 2^n pieces means each piece has an area of 80 / (2^n) in².
