Question

Owen has a square sheet of paper that measures 1 foot on each side. He folds the paper vertically and horizontally so that it makes equal sections. The model shows the unfolded paper. Which expression represents the area of 1 section

Answer 1

The area of each section will be equal to
`(1)/(4)` sq. feet.

Explanation:

The dimensions of the square sheet of paper are 1 foot by 1 foot.

If Owen folds the paper vertically and horizontally so that it makes equal sections, then there will generate four equal squares with dimensions
`(1)/(2)` feet by
`(1)/(2)` feet.

Therefore, the area of each section will be equal to
`((1)/(2) * (1)/(2)) = (1)/(4)` sq. feet. (Answer)
