Question

Sarah wants to make a quilt that is 6 feet wide and 8 feet long. She is patching together 4-inch-sided squares of fabric to make the quilt. How many patches of fabric will Sarah need?

Answer 1

x = 36

Explanation:

First calculate the area of both quilts.

First Quilt area: LxW

So, 6 x 8 = 48 48 ft^2

= Square Quilt Area: S^2

= 4 × 4 = 16 inches^2

= 16 square inches = 1.333 ft

= 1.333 ft = 48

Answer: x = 36

Sara would need 36 patches of fabric.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sarah will need 482 patches of fabric
