Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of each rectangular sheet of cardboard made by the factory is is 2 1/2 square feet. Converting
2 1/2 to improper fraction, it becomes 5/2 square feet.
Each sheet of cardboard can be cut into smaller pieces of cardboard measuring 1 1/6 square feet. Converting 1 1/6 to improper fraction, it becomes 7/6 square feet.
Therefore, the number of smaller pieces of cardboard that each sheet of cardboard provides is
5/2 ÷ 7/6 = 5/2 × 6/7 = 30/14
= 2.14 pieces
