The correct answer is 60 raisins. To get this answer you will write a proportion of M & Ms to raisins and create and equivalent ratio using the number 36.

After you have the proportion set up, you will use cross products to solve for the number of raisins.

You can also use equivalent ratios to find the number of raisins.

Both of these strategies are shown in the attached picture.

Can you completely over a 4 ft by 8 ft area with 3 ft by 3 ft tiles?

Vika [28.1K]

Yes, but not without cutting some of the tiles into smaller pieces.

The length of the area is 8-ft. That's (2 and 2/3) tiles long.

The width of the area is 4-ft. That's (1 and 1/3) tiles wide.

So you can't just put down rows and columns of whole tiles
and cover the whole area.
______________________________________

Another way to look at it:

-- The area of the whole big plot is (8 x 4) = 32 square feet.

-- Each tile covers (3 x 3) = 9 square feet.

-- You can't cover 32 square feet with 9-square-feet pieces.
Either you have to cut something off, or else you have to let
something hang outside of the lines.
