How many 4-inch by 4-inch squares can be cut from a rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard?

72 squares can be cut from a rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard

Solution:

Given, 4-inch by 4-inch squares can be cut from a rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard

Therefore,

Area of square = 4 x 4 = 16

Thus area of square to be cut is 16 square inches

Rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard

Convert feet to inches

1 feet = 12 inch

4 feet = 4 x 12 = 48 inches

Also,

1 yard = 36 inch

Given is a two-thirds of a yard

Thus area of rectangular piece of leather is:

Total number of squares cut is given as:

Thus we get,

Thus 72 squares can be cut from a rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
