george can make a square using 4 pipe cleaners.how many pipe cleaners does he need to make 3 squares and why?

if george had a package of 200 pipe cleaners,how many would he have left over when he finished making his 3 squares?

If he made three different squares he would need 3*4= 12 but if he can put them beside each other sharing sides he only needs 4+3+3 = 10

So he'd have 190 pipe cleaners left.

To find out how many pipe cleaners George needs to make 3 squares, we first need to determine how many pipe cleaners he needs for one square.

Given that George can make a square using 4 pipe cleaners, this means that for each square he wants to make, he needs 4 pipe cleaners.

Therefore, to find out how many pipe cleaners he needs for 3 squares, we can simply multiply the number of pipe cleaners needed for one square by the number of squares he wants to make:

Number of pipe cleaners needed = Number of squares × Number of pipe cleaners per square
Number of pipe cleaners needed = 3 × 4
Number of pipe cleaners needed = 12

So, George would need 12 pipe cleaners to make 3 squares.
