Question

7. A sheet of construction paper is 9 inches long and

11 inches wide. How many 1-inch squares of paper can
Dwayne cut out of one sheet of paper?

Answer 1

Answer: 99 1-inch squares

Explanation:

We can think of this as finding the area, and dividing it by the area of the size we want to cut.

The area of a rectangle is length*width, the length being 9, and width being 11. This equals 99, and since we are trying to find how many rectangles we can make from 1-inch squares, we can make 99/1 squares, or 99 squares.
