Find an area and help

[boyl99]

I need help: I'm growing plants in a tray and instead of using soil in a tray, I'm using a natural fiber mat that works like soil but without the mess. I would like to buy some of this material for the mat, but would like to know how many trays I can fill to understand the cost per tray.

The inner dimension of the trays is 19.75'' x 9.5''

The mat is 48'' x 96''

How many trays can I level if I cut the mat to fit?

Simple slicing - 20 trays, economical - more, but not more than 24.

I greet You

Area of one trays:
\( 19,78" \times 9,5" = 187,625".\)

Area of one mat kuyinto:
\( 48"\times 96" = 4608"\)

If You cut one mat kuyinto, You can fill up to

\( 4608" : 187,625" \approx 24,56 = 24 \) trays.

[Jerry]

\( 48"\times\ 96" = 4608"\)

\(48"\times\ 96" = 4608\text{ sq in.}\)
