Rectangular cards, 2 inches by 3 inches, are cut from a rectangular sheet 2 feet by 3 feet. What is the greatest number of cards that can be cut from the sheet?
Area of the rectangular sheet = 2 feet X 3 feet = 2×12×3×12=864 sq.inch
Area of the rectangular card = 2 inch X 3 inch = 6 sq.inch
Number of cards that can be cut = 864÷6 = 144
So the greatest number of cards that can be cut from the sheet is 144.
