Problem 2: How big is A3 paper in cm?
Width? Convert 420mm to cm, (divide by 10, e.g. 1000mm = 100cm)
Height? Convert 297mm to cm
What is the area of A3 paper in cm^2 (cm squared)? (e.g. if it was 10cm x 20cm = 200cm^2)
What is the area of your bedroom wall? e.g. 4.5m * 6.5m
How may A3 pieces of paper would cover it? (e.g. use your Answer 4 divided by Answer 3)

Problem 3: Calculate the Volume of following skips*
*sizes and availability vary so take an average (e.g. 1.5 - 1.7m, average = 1.6m) .
Remember that Volume = Length * Width * Height (e.g. 1m * 1m * 1m = 1m^3 or 1 metre cubed)
Q 3a)
Q 3a)
Length - 3.6m - 3.9m
Width - 1.5m - 1.7m
