Answer

(i) Given:

Rectangular sheet dimensions: Length = 75 cm, Width = 48 cm

Radius of each circular disc = 4 cm

⇒ Diameter of each disc = 2 × 4 = 8 cm

Number of discs that fit along the length = 758\dfrac{75}{8} = 9 discs

Number of discs that fit along the width = 488\dfrac{48}{8} = 6 discs

Total number of discs = 9 x 6 = 54

Hence, total number of discs = 54.

(ii) Given:

Rectangular sheet dimensions: Length = 64 cm, Width = 60 cm

Radius of each circular disc = 4 cm

⇒ Diameter of each disc = 2 × 4 = 8 cm

Number of discs that fit along the length = 648\dfrac{64}{8} = 8 discs

Number of discs that fit along the width = 608\dfrac{60}{8} = 7 discs (As we cannot take 7.5 discs)

Total number of discs = 8 x 7 = 56

Hence, total number of discs = 56.
