Question

Missy uses 1 hexagonal, 3 rectangular, and 6 triangular pieces of fabric to make 1 bug design for a quilt. If she uses 100 pieces in all to make bug designs, how many of each shape does she use?

Answer 1

Answer: Triangular = 600

Rectangular = 300

Hexagonal = 100

Explanation:

Given Data:

Shapes of fabric used

Hexagonal = 1

Rectangular = 3

Triangular = 6

Total quantity of fabric = 1000 pcs

Solution

How many pieces of each does she use.

1 + 3 + 6 = 10

Hexagonal = 1/10

Rectangular = 3/10

Triangular = 6/10

Quantity of hexagonal used

= 1/10 * 1000

= 100 pieces

Quantity of rectangular used

= 3/100 * 1000

= 300 pieces

Quantity of triangular used

= 6/10 * 1000

= 600 pieces

Therefore

Triangular = 600

Rectangular = 300

Hexagonal = 100
