Answer: 2 patches of fabric needed

Explanation:

Given

Quilt: 6 ft × 8 ft

Fabric: 4 ft × 4 ft

Solve

Area of quilt=4×8=32 ft²

Area of fabric=4×4=16 ft²

To find the number of fabric needed, we need to divide the area of fabric from the total area of the quilt.

32/16=2

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
