Question

Mirela has a rectangular piece of paper with an area of 0.15 m2. She cuts the paper into small rectangles with areas of 500 cm2. What is the maximum number of rectangles she can cut?

Answer 1

Answer:

Miracle can cut 3 small rectangles from large rectangular piece of paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Area of rectangular piece of paper=$0.15 m^2$

Area of small rectangular piece of paper=$500 cm^2$

We have to find the maximum number of rectangles she can cut .

We know that

$1 cm^2=\frac{1}{10000}m^2$

Using the value then we get

$500 cm^2=\frac{500}{10000}=0.05 m^2$

Now,  number of small rectangles can be cut

=$\frac{Area\;of\;large\;rectangle}{Area\;of\;small\;rectangle}$

Number of small rectangles can be cut =$\frac{0.15}{0.05}$

Number of small rectangles can be cut =3

Hence, Miracle can cut 3 small rectangles from large rectangular piece of paper.
