Annika is making a quilt with squares that are one half foot in length on each side the finished quilt will be 4 feet long and 3 and a half feet wide how many quilt squares will Annika need.
Can you please explain how to get the answer for question above
56 ya’ll
56 is not the correct answer. It is 14.
I had this problem on a test at school and teacher said it was 28 but I got 14.
so is it 28
8 squares the long way
7 squares the other way
7 * 8 = ______ squares
To find out how many quilt squares Annika will need, we need to calculate the total area of the quilt and then divide it by the area of each quilt square.
Step 1: Calculate the area of the quilt.
The length of the quilt is given as 4 feet, and the width is given as 3.5 feet. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. So, the area of the quilt is:
Area = length × width
Area = 4 feet × 3.5 feet
Area = 14 square feet
Step 2: Calculate the area of each quilt square.
Each square has sides that are half a foot in length. To calculate the area of the square, we multiply the length of one side by itself. So, the area of the square is:
Area of square = side length × side length
Area of square = 0.5 feet × 0.5 feet
Area of square = 0.25 square feet
Step 3: Calculate the number of quilt squares needed.
Now, we divide the total area of the quilt by the area of each quilt square to find the number of squares needed:
Number of squares = Total area of quilt ÷ Area of square
Number of squares = 14 square feet ÷ 0.25 square feet
Number of squares = 56
Therefore, Annika will need 56 quilt squares to make her quilt.
