Question 629711: How many 2 inch square blocks can fit in 10 inch by 20 inch rectangle
Answer by Charles3475(23) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The rectangle has an area equal to its length times its width where L = 10 inches and W = 20 inches.

Area = L * W

Area of Rectangle = 10 * 20 = 200 square inches

Each block has a smaller area as L = 2 inches and W = 2 inches.

Area of each Block = 2 * 2 = 4 square inches.

To determine the number of blocks that will fit in the rectangle we need to divide the area of the rectangle by the ares of an individual block.

Number of blocks that fit in rectangle = 200/4 = 50 blocks
