Question

A metal plate measuring 32cm by 12cm is cut into

small squares of side length 4cm. How many squares will
be cut?​

Answer 1

`\huge\underline{\overline{\mid{\bold{\red{ANSWER}}\mid}}}`

Area of the metal plate =
`L * B`

=
`32cm * 12cm \\ 384cm^(2)`

Area of small squares =
`a^(2)`

`4cm * 4cm \\ =16cm^(2)`

Number of squares that can be cut =

`\frac{384cm^(2) }{16 {cm}^(2) } = 24`

Hence 24 squares can be cut.

Answer 2

24

Explanation:

First find the area of the metal plate: 32*12=384

Find the are of each small square to see how much space it takes: 4*4=16

Divide the two to see how many can fit: 24
