A sheet of 19-in by 27-in paper must be cut into 4-in by 6-in cards. The cuts can be made in either direction but they must be consistent. Which plan will result in the least amount of waste, cutting the 4-in side of the card along
the 19-in side of the sheet or along the 27-in side of the sheet?
State the amount of waste created by each
possibility. (Hint: Make a cutting diagram for each possibility.)
