Question

Cindy is make a display for a project. She plans on 100 stickers that are 2 inch by 2 inch square on a poster board. The poster board she is using has a length of 3 feet and width of 2 feet. Does she have enough room for all her stickers

Answer 1

YES

Explanation:

the dimensions of the poster board has to be converted to inches to add comparability

1 feet = 12 inches

3 x 12 = 36 inches

width = 2 x 12 = 24 inches

Area = length x breadth

36 x 24 = 864 cm^2

area of sticker = 2 x 2 = 4cm^2

Number of stickers that can be put on the board = 864 / 4 = 216

216 is greater than 100. So the board has enough room for the stickers
