72 squares can be cut from a rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given, 4-inch by 4-inch squares can be cut from a rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard
Therefore,
Area of square = 4 x 4 = 16
Thus area of square to be cut is 16 square inches
<em><u>Rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard</u></em>
Convert feet to inches
1 feet = 12 inch
4 feet = 4 x 12 = 48 inches
Also,
1 yard = 36 inch
Given is a two-thirds of a yard
<em><u>Thus area of rectangular piece of leather is:</u></em>
<em><u>Total number of squares cut is given as:</u></em>
Thus we get,
Thus 72 squares can be cut from a rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard
