Question

A parallelogram-shaped sponge is 1 inch by 3 inches. The area of a design is 66 square inches. How many times do you use the sponge to create the design?

Answer 1

22 times

Explanation:

The area of the sponge is given by

A=(1 inch)*(3 inch)=3 square inches

Now we divide the area of the design by the area of the sponge

66/3=22 times

we use the sponge 22 times

Answer 2

You can use the sponge 22 times to create the design

Explanation:

Area of the parallelogram-shaped sponge = base × height = 3 inches × 1 inch = 3 square inches

Area of design = 66 square inches

Number of times to use the sponge to create the design = Area of design ÷ Area of parallelogram-shaped sponge = 66 square inches ÷ 3 square inches = 22

The sponge can be used 22 times to create the design
