Question

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

• A. 4
• B. 8
• C. 16
• D. 20

Answer 1

The correct option is C 16

Area of the stone tablet = 4 sq yd

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

Number of plated that 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.
