Question

An artist is making a tile mosaic with an area of 36 square inches. She uses transparent pieces of glass for 2/3 of its area. How many square inches of the tile mosaic are made with transparent pieces of glass?

Answer 1

To find the area of the mosaic made with transparent pieces of glass, multiply the total area of the mosaic by 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the mosaic made with transparent pieces of glass, we need to determine 2/3 of the total area of the mosaic. The total area of the mosaic is given as 36 square inches. To find 2/3 of this area, we can multiply the total area by 2/3.

2/3 * 36 = (2/3) * (36/1) = (2 * 36)/(3 * 1) = 72/3 = 24

Therefore, the transparent pieces of glass cover an area of 24 square inches.
