Question

You want to cut bookmarks that are 6 inches long and 2 3/8 inches wide form a sheet of paper that is 13 inches long and 6 inches wide. What is the maximum number of book marks you can cut?

Answer 1

Think about it 13 divided by 6 can be 2 with a remainder. 6 divided by 2 (round it.) it's 3. Even if we rounded way up, to 3, 6 divided by 3 is still 2. You can make 2 bookmarks per sheet of paper
