How many 2 by 3.5 inch images can fit on a single-sided 8-1/2 by 11 inch sheet without bleeds?

To determine how many 2 by 3.5 inch images fit on an 8.5 by 11 inch sheet, it’s important to calculate how many images can fit both horizontally and vertically without any bleeds.

First, let's convert the dimensions into inches:

• The sheet size is 8.5 inches wide and 11 inches tall.

• Each image measures 2 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall.

Next, calculate how many images fit along the width of the sheet.

• The width of the sheet is 8.5 inches divided by the width of each image (2 inches) equals 4.25. Since we can't fit a partial image, only 4 images can fit across the width.

Now, let's calculate the height placement:

• The height of the sheet is 11 inches divided by the height of each image (3.5 inches) equals approximately 3.14. This means only 3 complete images can fit vertically on the sheet.

Finally, multiply the number of images that can fit horizontally by those that can fit vertically:

• 4 images across the width multiplied by 3 images down the height gives a total of 12 images.

Thus, the correct answer is indeed
