Question

Olivia is making scarves. Each scarf will have 3 rectangles, and of the rectangles will be purple. How many purple rectangles does she need for 3 scarves?

Answer 1

She needs 3 purple rectangles.

If Olivia is making 3 scarves and each scarf will be a combination of 3 rectangles, out of the three rectangles, there will be purple meaning a scarf will have at least a purple rectangle.

1 x 3 = 3

3 rectangles.
