00:01 So i have a piece of chart paper, which is 48 by 32, and 48 is equal to 3 times 16.
00:22 32 is 2 times 16.
00:26 And i want to be able to get 6 equal square pieces.
00:32 So 48 by 32 is equal to 3 times 16 times 2 times 16, which is 6 times 16 squared centimeters squared.
00:58 So that means that if i cut this into 6 squares, 16 by 16, that would work.
01:27 So the length of each side is 16 centimeters.
01:49 And another way you would be able to do this is the area of the big piece of paper is 48 times 32 centimeters squared...
