Question

the cup space is 10 by 10 inches long, each cup is 3 inches by 3 inches. the top of the space is to the cups so you can not stack them. how many cps can i put in the cup spot?

Answer 1

100/9=11.1 which is a remainder of 1 inch 

Answer 2

the area of the cup space is 10*10 or 100

we see how many times 9 goes into 100
100/9=11.1111

can fit 11 cups
