Leia cuts congruent triangular patches with an area of 15 square centimeters from a rectangular piece of fabric that is 10 centimeters long and 6 centimeters wide. How many of the patches can Leia cut from 33 pieces of the fabric?

132 patches

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the area of the rectangular piece, multiplying the length and the width:

Area of fabric: 10 * 6 = 60 cm2

If each triangular patch has 15 cm2 of area, a fabric of 60cm2 can make 60 / 15 = 4 triangular patches.

Then, if Leia uses 33 pieces of fabric, she can make a total of 33 * 4 = 132 patches.

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.
