How many circles, each with a 4-inch radius, can be cut from a rectangular sheet of

paper, measuring 16 inches x 24 inches?

(A) 6

(B) 7

(C) 8

(D) 12

(E) 24

A) 6

the radius is mentioned at four, meaning the length is 8

16/8=2

24/8=3

2*3=6

Let us find the area of circle first

Area of circle = pi x r x r

= 3.14 x 4 x 4

= 50.24

Area of Rectangular sheet = 16 x 24

= 384

Thus, no. of circles = area of recatngle / area of circle

= 384 / 50.24

= 4.64

Thus, the answer is (A), because it is the nearest.
