The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

An artist used colored squares to put on the windows that measure 1/4 by 1/4 How many colored squares would fit in that area of the window? The window measures 3 1/2 feet by 2 3/4 feet?

Solution :

It is given that :

The measure of the window is =
$3(1)/(2)$ feet by
$2(3)/(4)$ feet

The measure of the colored square =
$(1)/(4)$ feet by
$(1)/(4)$ feet

So the area of the window is given as :


$=3(1)/(2) * 2(3)/(4)$

= 9.625 square feet

Similarly the area of the colored square
$=(1)/(4) * (1)/(4)$


$=(1)/(16)$

= 0.0625 square feet

Therefore, the total number of the colored squares required to fit the window is given by :


$=(9.625)/(0.0625)$

= 154 colored squares
