Question

Predict the number of blue squares in a quilt with 11 green squares if there are 4 green squares in a quilt with blue squares.

Answer 1

If you make the numbers into a ratio, it will be easier to find the answer.

There are 68 blue squares for the 4 green squares in the quilt.

68:4, or 68/4

If we do the division of the ratio, 68/4, we end up with 17.

Now, we multiply that by the 11 green squares of the new quilt.

17 x 11 = 187
