Answer: 16 small squares

why?
since this is a square mosaic, all four sides have equal numbers of glass squares
if you think about one glass square as one unit, the scenario can be considered through the equation 256=x^{2} -- where x is the number of glass squares per side ( remember, area of square = x^{2} )
so, to solve the equation, you find the square root of 256, which is 16!

~hope it makes sense~

To do this, you got to square 256.

The square root of 256 is 16.

Therefore, there are 16 small squares on each edge of the mosaic.

25 squares. Square root is 5. 5 along each edge. My work shares same concept.

Extremely unnecessary proof:

There are 256 squares, and you can count 16 on each edge. this shows 16 times 16, or 16 squared, which is 256.

Answer:

6 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We will have to divide in order to solve this problem.

\frac{3}{4}÷\frac{1}{8}

We will have to find the reciprocal of 1/8, which is basically flipping it, so it is 8.

After, we will have to multiply 3/4x8. The product would come out as 24/4, and if you simplify it, the answer will be 6 times.

Write the product as a trinomial.(k – 1)(k – 4)
SashulF [63]
(k - 1)(k - 4)

Use FOIL to solve this.

First
k * k
Outer
k * -4
Inner
-1 * k
Last
-1 * -4

k^2 - 4k - 1k + 4

k^2 - 5k + 4 is the trinomial.
