Answer:

The greatest number of kits she can create is 6 kits

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the above question using the greatest common factor method.

We have to find the factors of 18 and 12

The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Then the greatest common factor is 6.

Therefore, greatest number of kits that she can create is 6 kits

The number of sedimentary rocks in each kit

18 sedimentary rocks /6 kits = 3 sedimentary rocks

The number of Metamorphic rocks in each kit =

12 metamorphic ones/ 6 kits = 2 metamorphic rocks

Since the perimeter of the square is 16cm, each side is 4cm.

If we subtract the area of the two unshaded triangles from the area of the square we will know the area of the shaded portion...

The small inverted triangle on the left has a height of 4 and a base of 1.  The are of the bottom triangle has a height of 2 and a base of 4...

So the area of the two triangles is 4*1/2+2*4/2=2+4=6

The area of the square is just 4*4=16 so:

The shaded area is 16-6=10cm^2  

The proportion of the shaded area to the total area is then:

10cm^2:16cm^2
