A teacher has a rectangle piece of paper that is 52 cm long and 38 centimeters wide. She wants to cut the paper into squares each measuring 5 cm by 5 cm which are the following number of squares can she cut from the rectangle piece of paper

Answer 1

She can cut a total of 28 squares from the rectangle piece of paper.

To calculate this, first determine how many squares can fit along the length of the paper:
52 cm / 5 cm = 10.4 squares

Round down to the nearest whole number as she cannot cut a fraction of a square, so she can fit 10 squares along the length.

Next, determine how many squares can fit along the width of the paper:
38 cm / 5 cm = 7.6 squares

Round down to the nearest whole number again, so she can fit 7 squares along the width.

Now multiply the number of squares along the length by the number of squares along the width to find the total number of squares she can cut:
10 squares x 7 squares = 70 squares.

Therefore, she can cut a total of 10 x 7 = 70.
