Answer:
40" by 50"
Explanation:
From inspection of the diagram,
height of 2 squares of the quilt ≈ height of doll plus a little bit
⇒ height of 2 squares of the quilt ≈ 18 + 2 = 20 in
⇒ height of 1 square of the quilt ≈ 20 ÷ 2 = 10 in
As the height of a square = width of a square
⇒ width of 1 square of the quilt ≈ 10 in
Dimensions of the quilt
width = 4 squares = 4 × 10 = 40 in
height = 5 squares = 5 × 10 = 50 in
Ratios
We can also work out the width and height by using ratios.
The ratio of width to height of the quilt = 4 squares : 5 squares
If we multiply by 10, the ratio becomes 40 : 50
Final Solution
40" by 50"
