Answer:
72 purple tiles
Explanation:
If the green tiles which is 5 for every 8 tiles and we know there are 45 green tiles, we can find the answer by dividing. 45/9=5, since we know we multiplied 9 to gain 45 we can multiply the same number to 8 to find the amount of purple tiles in the mosaic. (I hope this helps)

Answer: you can use show the multiples of 5 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:for example show the multiples of 5 until you get to 45. Once you get there circle it. Then find the multiples of 8 and line it up until it lines up with the number 45. That’s how you do it hope this helps
