Question

Divide the 30x40 rectangle into 10 by 10 squares of 100

Answer 1

30/10= 3

40/10=4

3*4 = 12

Total 12

Answer 2

12 squares

Explanation:

Data provided:

Dimension of the rectangle = 30 × 40

Area of the rectangle = 30 × 40 = 1200

Dimension of the area to be divided = 10 × 10

Thus,

Area of the square to be divided into = 100

Therefore,

The number of square in which it can be divided

=
`\frac{\textup{Total area of the rectangle}}{\textup{Area of the square}}`

=
`\frac{\textup{1200}}{\textup{100}}`

= 12

Hence,

It can be divided in 12 squares
