Question

Mr. Parker's class has 7 feet of white paper and 8 feet of yellow paper to make posters they will cut the paper into 2-foot posters how many posters can they make?

Answer 1

In total, they will be able to cut 7 posters.

Explanation:

Mr. Parker's class has 7 feet of white paper and 8 feet of yellow paper to make posters.

If they cut the paper into 2-foot posters, then from 8 feet of yellow paper they will make
`(8)/(2) = 4` posters.

Now, from the 7 feet white paper if they cut 2-foot posters then they will make 3 posters maximum as
`(7)/(2) = 3.5`.

Therefore, in total, they will be able to cut (4 + 3) = 7 posters. (Answer)
