[hide]Problem
Kate bakes a -inch by -inch pan of cornbread. The cornbread is cut into pieces that measure inches by 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.
Solution 2
By dividing each of the dimensions by , we get a grid that makes pieces.
