Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
cutting lengthwise, you can get 240 / 45 = 5 boards for each width.
The number of widths = 120 / 20 = 6
total boards = 5*6 = 30.
cutting crosswise, you can get 120 / 45 = 2 boards for each width.
the number of widths = 240 / 20 = 12
total boards = 12 * 2 = 24
since 30 is one of your selections and 24 is not, go with 30.
answer is selection B.
