Question 50

Question. 50

Rectangular cards 8×5 cm are cut from square chart 60 cm side. How many cards? What area left?

Answer:

90 cards, 0 cm² left

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: Understand the sizes

Square chart side = (60 ext{cm})

One rectangular card = (8 ext{cm} imes 5 ext{cm})

Step 2: Find the area of the chart

( ext{Area of chart} = 60 imes 60 )

( = 3600 ext{cm}^2 )

Step 3: Find the area of one card

( ext{Area of one card} = 8 imes 5 )

( = 40 ext{cm}^2 )

Step 4: How many such cards fit (by area)?

( ext{Number of cards} = dfrac{3600}{40} )

( = 90 )

Step 5: Check leftover area

( ext{Used area} = 90 imes 40 = 3600 ext{cm}^2 )

( ext{Leftover area} = 3600 - 3600 = 0 ext{cm}^2 )

Answer: 90 cards can be cut, and no area is left.
