Question

You see a stone tablet of area 4 sq m inside the museum. If the area of a plate is 1/4 of a square meter, find how many plates can be arranged on the tablet.

• A. 4
• B. 8
• C. 16
• D. 12

Answer 1

The correct option is C 16

Area of the stone tablet = 4 sq m

Area of the plate = $\frac{1}{4}$ sq m

Number of plates can be arranged on the tablet = 4 $÷$ $\frac{1}{4}$

= 4 $\times$ $\frac{4}{1}$

= 16

Hence, 16 plates can be arranged on the stone tablet.
