Maeve Roberts · Answer 1

Dimensions possible are:

80x1

40x2

20x4

10x8

5x16

The dimension that makes most sense is the 5 by 16 for a pot holder.

Susannah · Answer 2

You have the number 80. You can multiply two separate numbers to find the dimensions of the pot holder.

You can use:

1 x 80

2 x 40

4 x 20

5 x 16

8 x 10

For a pot holder, 8 x 10 makes most sense.
