Question

Frank has a rectangular piece of wood 45 cm by 75 cm. what are the largest identical squares. Frank can make by cutting the wood. What assumptions have you made.

Answer 1

45 = 15 x 3
75 = 15 x 5

so we can cut out squares of 15 by 15 and there will be 5 across and 3 down, that is, we can cut out 15 squares of 15 by 15

The silly assumption would be that there would be no loss of wood when cutting,

Answer 2
