Jodi is cutting out pieces of paper that measure 8 1/2 inches by 11 from a large sheet that has an area of 1,000 square inches. What is the area of each pieces that jodi is cutting out as a decimal.

Sagot :

93.5 square inches. 
The 1000 doesn't matter. Just multiply 8.5 and 11

we know that

Jodi is cutting out pieces of paper that measure [tex] 8\frac{1}{2} [/tex] inches by [tex] 11 [/tex] inches

The area of each piece that jodi is cutting out is equal to the area of a rectangle

so

To calculate the area

Multiply [tex] 8\frac{1}{2} [/tex] by [tex] 11 [/tex]

[tex] 8\frac{1}{2} =8.5 [/tex]

[tex] 8.5*11=93.5 [/tex] inches²

therefore

the answer is

[tex] 93.5inches^{2} [/tex]
