Question

Nadia had a strip of green paper that was 18 inches long . she cut the green paper into three pieces with equal lengths. she also had a strip of red paper that was 24 inches long . she cut the red paper into pieces that were the same length as each cut piece of green paper. when she was finished cutting, how many pieces of red and green paper did nadia have in total

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 7 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the green strip of paper = 18 inches

Given that she cut the green paper into three pieces with equal lengths. This means each piece was = $\frac{18}{3}=6$ inches long

The length of the red paper strip = 24 inches

Now Nadia cut this red strip with the same length as each cut piece of green paper, that means 6 inches.

So, total number of red strips = $\frac{24}{6}=4$ strips

Hence, the total number of pieces of red and green paper did Nadia have in total are = 3+4 =7 pieces.

Answer 2

Green paper > 18 / 3 = 6 inch pieces

Red paper > 24 / 6 = 4 pieces of paper

total = 4 + 3 = 7 piece of paper in total :)
