Answer:
Minimum of 6 squares.
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimension of the rectangular carton = 6 by 4 inches.
The area of the carton = length x width
= 6 x 4
= 24 square inches
Assume that we have a square of side length 2 inches, then;
area of the square = length x length
= 2 x 2
= 4 square inches
So that since all materials is to be used,
the minimum number of squares that it can produce =
= 6
