Jodi is cutting out pieces of paper that measure 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches from a larger sheet of paper that has an area of 1,000 square inches.

1)What is the area of each piece of paper that Jodi is cutting out?

2)What is the greatest possible number of pieces of paper that Jodi can cut out of the larger sheet?
THANK YOU!

1. area of each piece = 8.5(11) = 93.5 inches^2

2. no definite answer since we don't know the dimensions of the larger piece.
e.g. it could be 20 by 50, or 25 by 40 , or 16 by 62.5, or .....
