Question

(17 Points) Kenzie makes quilts with some blue squares and some green squares. The ratio of blue squares to green squares is shown in the diagram.

Answer 1

Answer:

Quilt A: 35 green squares.

Quilt B: 12 blue squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the diagram, there are 3 blue squares for every 5 green squares. Then the ratio can be expressed as:

$3:5\ or\ \frac{3}{5}$

Therefore, knowing the ratio, you can calculate:

- The number of green squares (G) in quilt A, as following:

$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{21}{G}\\\\G=\frac{21*5}{3}\\G=35$

- The number of blue squares (B) in quilt B, as following:

$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{B}{20}\\\\B=\frac{20*3}{5}\\B=12$
