Ms. Lynn is cutting a piece of bulletin board paper into strips.
What size pieces should she cut so that she has the fewest number of strips?
Insufficient data. How large is the paper and/or the strips?
Lin has strip of paper that is 7 1/4 inch long and needs to be trimmed by 2 3/4 inches . What is the length of the paper step after it is trimmed?
To determine the size of the pieces, we need to consider the length and width of the bulletin board paper.
Step 1: Determine the desired width of each strip.
First, we need to know the desired width of each strip. Let's say Ms. Lynn wants each strip to be 2 inches wide.
Step 2: Determine the total number of strips needed.
To find the total number of strips needed, we need to know the length of the bulletin board paper. Let's say the length of the bulletin board paper is 60 inches.
Step 3: Calculate the number of strips.
To calculate the number of strips, divide the length of the bulletin board paper by the desired width of each strip.
Number of strips = Length of bulletin board paper ÷ Width of each strip
In this case, the number of strips needed would be 60 inches ÷ 2 inches = 30 strips.
Therefore, to have the fewest number of strips, Ms. Lynn should cut the bulletin board paper into strips that are 2 inches wide, resulting in 30 strips.
To determine the size of the paper strips Ms. Lynn should cut in order to have the fewest number of strips, we need some additional information. Specifically, we need to know the dimensions of the bulletin board paper and the desired length or width of each strip. Once we have these details, we can calculate the number of strips needed and find the dimensions that result in the fewest number of strips.
If you have access to the bulletin board paper dimensions and a desired length or width for each strip, please provide those details, and I will guide you through the calculation to determine the optimal size.
