Question 342898: elana begins with a large square sheet that is 169 square inches. how many squares can she cut out the paper that are 4 inches on each side? Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two squares: one has an area of 169 and the other has 4 inches on one side.
The square with 169 square inches has a side of 13 inches since 13 times 13 = 169.
The other square has 4 inches on one side, which means it has an area of 16 square inches.
Area of big square divided by area of little square = 169/16 = 10.5625.
We can round this off to the nearest tens place and get 10.
She should be able to cut at least 10 little squares.
