Answer

Given:

Area of sheet = 421442\dfrac{1}{4} cm2

Number of strips = 13

Area of each strip = ?

Area of each strip = (Area of sheet) ÷ (Number of strips)

Substituting the values in above, we get:

Area of each strip = 421442\dfrac{1}{4} cm2 ÷ 13

=1694 cm2÷13=(1694×113) cm2=(134) cm2=314 cm2\begin{array}{ll} = \dfrac{169}{4} \text{ cm}^2 ÷ 13 \\ = \Big(\dfrac{169}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{13}\Big) \text{ cm}^2 \\ = \Big(\dfrac{13}{4}\Big) \text{ cm}^2 \\ = 3\dfrac{1}{4} \text{ cm}^2 \end{array}

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
