Kendra is using 27 blue patches and some white patches to make a quilt. The quilt a total area of 540 square inches each patch has an area of 5 inches how much of the area "is white

Answer 1

405 in²

Explanation:

Given that :

Total area of quilt = 540 in²

Number of Blue patches = 27

Number of white patches = x

Area per patch = 5 in²

Area of white = total area - total area of blue patch

Total area of blue patch = 27 * 5 in² = 135 in²

Area that is white :

540 in² - 135 in²

= 405in²
