How many2 square pieces can be made from a 12x16 cake?

To determine how many 2x2 square pieces can be made from a 12x16 cake, first calculate the area of the cake, which is 12 × 16 = 192 square units. Each 2x2 square piece has an area of 4 square units. Dividing the total area of the cake by the area of one square piece gives 192 ÷ 4 = 48. Thus, you can cut 48 pieces of 2x2 squares from the 12x16 cake.
