Marie wants to draw a painting with an area of 40 square inches. If she draws her painting on 1inch grid paper how many squares would the painting coved. tell why
40
To determine the number of squares the painting would cover, we need to calculate the number of squares that would fit within its area.
Given that the painting's area is 40 square inches and the grid paper has 1-inch squares, we can calculate the number of squares using the formula:
Number of squares = Area / Area of each square
Since the area of each square is 1 square inch (1 inch x 1 inch), we can substitute the values into the formula:
Number of squares = 40 square inches / 1 square inch
Simplifying the expression, we find:
Number of squares = 40
Therefore, the painting would cover 40 squares on the 1-inch grid paper.
Explanation:
To find the number of squares, we divide the area of the painting by the area of each square. Since we know that each square on the grid paper has an area of 1 square inch, we divide the total area of the painting (40 square inches) by 1 square inch. This gives us the number of 1-inch squares that would be covered by the painting. In this case, it is 40 squares.
