How many 6 cm by 6 cm pictures could fit on the wall?

Answer 1

1,800 pictures

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached below with its dimension.

The board is rectangular in nature with dimension of 3.6 m by 1.8 m wall.

Area of a rectangle = Length * Breadth

Area of the board = 3.6 m * 1.8 m

since 1m -= 100cm

Area of the board = 360cm * 180cm

Area of the board = 64,800cm²

If the dimension of a picture on the wall is 6cm * 6cm, the area of one picture fir on the wall = 6cm* 6cm = 36cm²

In order to know the amount of 6cm* 6cm pictures that will fit on the wall, we will divide the area of the board by the area of one picture as shown;

Number of 6cm by 6cm pictures that could fit on the wall

= 64, 800cm²/36cm²

= 1,800 pictures
