Question

How many red squares will there be if there are 60 squares?

Answer 1

• There are 3 red squares.

,

• There are 4 white squares.

To compare them and get the ratio, we can build the following relation:

`(3)/(4)=(x)/(60)`

where x is the number of red squares it will be when there are 60 white squares.

Solving for x:

`x=(3)/(4)\cdot60`
`x=45`

Answer: C. 45
