Question

Mariposa makes a quilt with cloth squares and triangles.

Answer 1

Answer:

She will need 4 square and 8 triangular pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 6 pieces of cloth, 2 are squares.

So, for 12 pieces of cloth, the no. of square pieces would be,

$12 \times \frac {2}{6}$

= $2 \times 2$

= 4

As the remaining pieces will be triangles, so the no. of triangular pieces will be, equal to,

(12 - 4) = 8
