Question

The area of a square piece of paper is 625 unit${}^2$. From the larger sheet of paper, how many smaller squares of the side $5$ unit can be cut?

• A. 24
• B. 25
• C. 26
• D. 27

Answer 1

The correct option is B 25

Given,
Area of a larger paper $=625{\text{unit}}^2$

Side of a smaller piece of paper $=5unit$
Area of a smaller paper $={\text{side}}^2=5^2=25{\text{unit}}^2$


Number of smaller pieces of square $=\frac{\text{Area of larger paper}}{\text{Area of smaller paper}}=\frac{625}{25}=25$

Therefore, large paper with 625 square units can be cut into 25 small pieces of square.

Option (b) is correct.
