HELP!! I NEED THIS ASAP!!!!!

A square chocolate candy is made up of 8 dark chocolate squares and 8 white chocolate squares which are all the same size.
Jennifer breaks off squares of chocolate and hands the pieces out to her friends. She ends up with a perfect square.
If she has more than 4 squares of chocolate left, how many pieces did she give away?

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Because 8 + 8 is 16. 16 / 4 is 4. Or 4 x 4 is 16.

Hope this helps! <3

Answer: She gave away 7 pieces and was left with 9 pieces

Step-by-step explanation: Because 8+8+16 the next smallest square you can end up with is 3x3, or 9.
