Question 65012: Any help solving this would be GREAT!!
Bob is laying out the pages of a book. Each page (8 inch wide by 10 inch tall) will have 1.25 inch margins on top, 1.5 inch margins on the bottom, and 1 inch margins on either side. If each character is 0.12 inches wide and 0.25 inches tall, how many characters can fit on a page?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Bob is laying out the pages of a book. Each page (8 inch wide by 10 inch tall) will have 1.25 inch margins on top, 1.5 inch margins on the bottom, and 1 inch margins on either side. If each character is 0.12 inches wide and 0.25 inches tall, how many characters can fit on a page?
--------------
Figure out the usable dimensions of the page:
Width: 8"-2"=6"
Height:10"-1.25"-1.5"=7.25"
----------
Divide each of these by the corresponding dimension of each character:
Width: 6/0.12 = 50
Height: 7.25/0.25=29
------------------
Maximum number of characters on the page = 50*29=1450
