A piece of board 8yd by 6yd is cut into squares.The perimeter of each square is 8yd.How many squares are there?
8/4 = 2
8/2 = 4
6/2 = 3
4 * 3 = ?
12
To find out how many squares are there, we need to first calculate the dimensions of each square.
Given that the perimeter of each square is 8 yards, and since the perimeter of a square is the sum of all its sides, we can divide 8 yards by 4 (number of sides of a square) to get the length of each side.
8 yards / 4 = 2 yards
So, each square has sides that measure 2 yards.
Now, let's calculate the number of squares that can fit in the original board.
If the board is 8 yards by 6 yards, we need to divide the length and width of the board by the length of each side of the square.
For the length:
8 yards / 2 yards = 4 squares
For the width:
6 yards / 2 yards = 3 squares
Therefore, the total number of squares that can be cut from the given board is 4 squares by 3 squares, which equals 12 squares.
