Ray has a printing business.
He gets an order to print 500 tickets for an outdoor event.
Each ticket must be a rectangle 9.1cm by 4.9cm
Ray is going to print the tickets on sheets of card.
Each sheet of card is 297mm by 210mm.
Ray needs to leave a 12mm margin around the edges of each sheet of card.
He knows he cannot use the margins for the tickets.
Ray has 60 sheets of card
Does Ray have enough sheets of card for 500 tickets?

Convert card dimensions to mm

91x49=4459x500= 2,229,500mm^2 area to print

297x210=62370x60= 3,742,200mm^2 card space to use

297x12x2= 7128
210x12x2= 5040
7128+5040= 12,168x60= 730,080mm^2 idle space for margin

3,742,200-730,080= 3,012,120mm^2 space available for print

Ray needs to 2,229,500mm^2 area to print cards

Unless I missed something, It seems he's got plenty of space.
Hope that'll help.
