Jodi is cutting out pieces of paper that measure 8.5 inches by 11 inches from a larger sheet of paper that has an area of 1000 square inches. What is the area of each piece of paper that Jodi is cutting out?
A = lw
A = 8.5 * 11
A = ?
93.5 square inches or 93 1/2 square inches since 8 1/2 multiplied by 11 is 93.5.
Jodí is cutting out pieces of paper that measure 81/2 inches from a larger sheet of paper that has an área of 1,000 square inches what is the área of each pieces of paper that jodí is cutting out?
To find the area of each piece of paper that Jodi is cutting out, we need to divide the area of the larger sheet of paper by the number of smaller pieces being cut out.
Given that the larger sheet of paper has an area of 1000 square inches and Jodi is cutting out pieces of paper measuring 8.5 inches by 11 inches, we can calculate the area of each piece as follows:
First, determine the area of each piece by multiplying the length and width of the paper:
Area of each piece = 8.5 inches * 11 inches = 93.5 square inches
Next, divide the area of the larger sheet by the area of each piece to find the number of pieces Jodi is cutting out:
Number of pieces = 1000 square inches / 93.5 square inches ≈ 10.7
Since we cannot have a fraction of a piece, we can conclude that Jodi is cutting out 10 pieces of paper, as we would round the number down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the area of each piece of paper that Jodi is cutting out is approximately 93.5 square inches.
