To find out how many notepads can fit in a box that is 2 feet wide, we first need to convert the measurements into the same unit. Since the width of the notepad is given in inches, we will convert the width of the box from feet to inches.
There are 12 inches in a foot, so:
- 2 feet = 2 x 12 = 24 inches
This means that the box is 24 inches wide. Now, we can determine how many 2-inch wide notepads can fit into the 24-inch width of the box.
To do this, we divide the total width of the box by the width of each notepad:
- 24 inches (width of the box) ÷ 2 inches (width of each notepad) = 12
This calculation shows that a total of 12 notepads can fit in the box. Therefore, the answer is:
