How many strips of paper 4inches long and 1 inch wide can be cut from a piece of paper 8 inches long and 6 inches wide

12 Thanks

To get the answer to this question, you need to determine how many rows of 4-inch strips can fit within the 8-inch length and how many columns of 1-inch strips can fit within the 6-inch width.

First, calculate the number of rows by dividing the 8-inch length by the length (4 inches) of each strip:

Number of rows = 8 inches / 4 inches = 2 rows

Then, calculate the number of columns by dividing the 6-inch width by the width (1 inch) of each strip:

Number of columns = 6 inches / 1 inch = 6 columns

To find the total number of strips, multiply the number of rows by the number of columns:

Total number of strips = Number of rows × Number of columns
= 2 rows × 6 columns
= 12 strips

Therefore, you can cut 12 strips of paper, each measuring 4 inches long and 1 inch wide, from the original piece.
