Question 1074172: Ms. James has a 6 square foot bulletin board and a 12 suare foot bulletin board. She wants to cover both bulleting boards with index cards without gaps or overlaps. Each index card has an area of 1/4 sq. foot. How many Index cards does she need?
I am not sure but is the answer 12 divided by 1/4 = 48
and 6 divided by 1/4 = 24 Then I added 48+24=72 index cards.
