Hi, I need some help:


Angelia wanted to paste her stamps on a piece of rectangular paper measuring 33 cm by 14 cm. All the stamps used are similar in size measuring 4 cm by 3 cm. Assuming that she did not cut any of the stamps, what is the maximum number of stamps she can paste on the paper.

Let me try, paper length is 33cm, stamp length 4cm
33/4 =8 r1
Max 8 stamps

Paper Breadth 14cm, stamp breadth 3cm
14/3 = 4 r2
Max 4 stamps at the breadth.

8x4 = 32.

Max number of stamps =32.

Hi, thank you so much for your answer. Is it also possible to find the entire area of the rectangular paper and divide it by the area of the stamps?

My son's solution was:

33x14 = 462
4x3 = 12
462/12 = 38R6
Hence, max. stamps = 38

Hi,

No, because by doing so you will be cutting the stamp to fill the whole paper.

in this case the total number is 38, obtained as follows

cut the 33cm x 14cm into 33 cm x 8 cm and 33 cm x 6 cm

for the 33 cm x 8 cm :
33 cm side --> 3 cm x 11
8 cm side --> 4 cm x 2
total --> 11 x 2 -> 22 stamps

for the 33cm x 6 cm
6 cm side --> 3cm x 2
33 cm side --> 4 cm x 8 .. left 1 cm --> 1 cm x 6 cm strip
total --> 2 x 8 = 16 stamps

so, total number of stamps --> 22 + 16 = 38

cheers.

pls help…


Matthias and hui min had 48 Pokemon cards. Matthias gave 1/2 of his pokemon cards to hui min. in return, hui min gave 2/5 of her total pokemon cards to Matthias. if they have the same number of pokemon cards now, how many pokemon cards did Matthias have at first?

thanks

[PapayaDad]

in the end

m=24
h=24

work backwards, h gave 2/5…so left with 3/5 = 24
1/5 = 8
5/5 = 40

h=40
m=8, m gave 1/2 left 8
so m have 16 at first
