A sheet of paper is 30cm wide and 20cm long. How many 5cm long squares can be cut from this paper?
You are not explaining how to solve this problem clearly and you are not being specific. You need to improve.
To find out how many 5cm long squares can be cut from a sheet of paper, we need to divide the length of the paper by the length of the square. In this case, we need to divide the length of the paper (20cm) by the length of the square (5cm).
To calculate this, we can use the formula:
Number of squares = Length of paper ÷ Length of square
Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Number of squares = 20cm ÷ 5cm
Dividing 20cm by 5cm gives us a result of 4.
Therefore, you can cut 4 squares that are 5cm long from the given sheet of paper.
six 5's wide , and four 5's long
6 * 4 = ?
30 / 5 = 6
20 / 5 = 4
6 ∙ 4 = 24
24 squares can be cut from this paper.
