Question

The art teacher asked her students to cut out 1045 apples and 1463 leaves from construction paper five apples can be cut from a sheet of paper 7 Leaves can be cut from a sheet of paper how many sheets of paper does she need write equation to find the unknown then find the unknown

Answer 1

Answer: There are 418 sheets needed to cut all the required apples and leaves.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of apples = 1045

Number of leaves = 1463

From a sheet of paper,

Number of apples can be cut = 5

Number of leaves can be cut = 7

Let the number of sheets of paper be x

So,

Number of sheets of paper required to cut 1045 apples is given by

$\frac{1045}{5}=209$

Similarly,

Number of sheets of paper required to cut 1463 leaves is given by

$\frac{1463}{7}=209$

So, total number of sheets is required to cut 1045 apples and 1463 leaves is given by

$209+209=418$

Hence, there are 418 sheets needed to cut all the required apples and leaves.
