Kate bakes 20-inch by 18-inch pan of cornbread. The cornbread is cut into pieces that measure 2 inches by 2 inches. How many pieces of cornbread does the pan contain?
Solution 1
The area of the pan is 
= 
. Since the area of each piece is 
, there are 
pieces. Thus, the answer is 
.
Solution 2
By dividing the each of the dimensions by 
, we get a 
grid which makes 
pieces. Thus, the answer is .
