Question

(17 Points) Kenzie makes quilts with some blue squares and some green squares. The ratio of blue squares to green squares is shown in the diagram.

Answer 1

Explanation:

35 green, 12 blue.

Answer 2

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`
