Answer:

Quilt A: 35 green squares.

Quilt B: 12 blue squares.

Explanation:

Based on the diagram, there are 3 blue squares for every 5 green squares. Then the ratio can be expressed as:

$3:5\ or\ (3)/(5)$

Therefore, knowing the ratio, you can calculate:

- The number of green squares (G) in quilt A, as following:

$(3)/(5)=(21)/(G)\\\\G=(21*5)/(3)\\G=35$

- The number of blue squares (B) in quilt B, as following:

$(3)/(5)=(B)/(20)\\\\B=(20*3)/(5)\\B=12$
