Question

How many 2cm2 pieces of paper can be cut from a square sheet of side length 1.2m?

Answer 1

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to first convert 1.2 m into cm, and then find the area of the square sheet of paper, before dividing it by 2 cm squared pieces of paper to get the answer.

1 m = 100 cm
1.2 m = 120 cm

120 × 120 = 14400

14400 ÷ 2 = 7200

So, your answer is 7200.

Hope this helps!
