Let’s break this down step by step.
We are told that each thank you tag is 2 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall.
We want to print as many of these tags as possible on a standard sheet of paper that is 8.5 inches wide and 11 inches tall.
First, let’s figure out how many tags can fit across the width of the paper (8.5 inches).
Each tag is 2 inches wide.
So, divide 8.5 by 2:
8.5 ÷ 2 = 4.25
That means we can fit 4 full tags across the width (since we can’t use part of a tag).
Now, let’s see how many tags can fit down the height of the paper (11 inches).
Each tag is 3.5 inches tall.
Divide 11 by 3.5:
11 ÷ 3.5 ≈ 3.14
So we can fit 3 full tags down the height.
Now multiply: 4 tags across × 3 tags down = 12 tags total.
This matches what the image says — “12 tags on a 8.5” x 11” paper”.
But let’s double-check if rotating the tags would help us fit more.
What if we turn the tags sideways? Then each tag would be 3.5 inches wide and 2 inches tall.
Try fitting them that way:
Across the 8.5-inch width: 8.5 ÷ 3.5 ≈ 2.43 → so only 2 tags fit across.
Down the 11-inch height: 11 ÷ 2 = 5.5 → so 5 tags fit down.
Total: 2 × 5 = 10 tags — which is less than 12.
So rotating doesn’t help. The original orientation gives us more tags.
Therefore, the maximum number of tags we can print on one page is 12.
Final Answer:
12
