72 squares can be cut from a rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard

Solution:

Given, 4-inch by 4-inch squares can be cut from a rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard

Therefore,

Area of square = 4 x 4 = 16

Thus area of square to be cut is 16 square inches

Rectangular piece of leather measuring 4 feet by two-thirds of a yard

Convert feet to inches
