Question

she wove a pot holder with an area of 80 square inches . The length and widths of th side are whole numbers. What possible dimensions make the most sense for a pot holder

Answer 1

You have the number 80. You can multiply two separate numbers to find the dimensions of the pot holder.

You can use:

1 x 80
2 x 40
4 x 20
5 x 16
8 x 10

For a pot holder, 8 x 10 makes most sense.

Answer 2

Dimensions possible are:
80x1
40x2
20x4
10x8
5x16
The dimension that makes most sense is the 5 by 16 for a pot holder.
