− | ==Problem==
| |
− | Kate bakes a <math>20</math>-inch by <math>18</math>-inch pan of cornbread. The cornbread is cut into pieces that measure <math>2</math> inches by <math>2</math> inches. How many pieces of cornbread does the pan contain?

− | <math>\textbf{(A) } 90 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 100 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 180 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 200 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 360</math>

− | == Solution 1 ==
| |
− |
| |
− | The area of the pan is <math>20\cdot18=360</math>. Since the area of each piece is <math>2\cdot2=4</math>, there are <math>\frac{360}{4} = \boxed{\textbf{(A) } 90}</math> pieces.
| |
− |
| |
− | == Solution 2 ==
| |
− |
| |
− | By dividing each of the dimensions by <math>2</math>, we get a <math>10\times9</math> grid that makes <math>\boxed{\textbf{(A) } 90}</math> pieces.
